Assignment:

Which statement below is false about the differences between "hospice" care and "physician-assisted suicide" (PAS)?

Hospice care is legal in all U.S. states, but PAS is not.
For hospice care a terminal diagnosis of 6-months or less to live, is required, while for PAS a diagnosis of 3-months or less is required.
For PAS, a patient must make several requests in writing and orally; with hospice care, a medical diagnosis and referral are enough.
In hospice, a team is responsible for patient care, while in PAS, the patient "takes personal responsibility" to take prescribed medicines.
