Abstract:

Is there a moral difference between euthanasia for terminally ill adults and euthanasia for terminally ill children? Luc Bovens considers five arguments to this effect, and argues that each is unsuccessful. In this paper, I argue that Bovens' dismissal of the sensitivity argument is unconvincing.

Abstract:

Proponents of active euthanasia argue that in cases where the modern, advanced medical technology has prolonged death of many miserable terminally ill patients, active euthanasia can put end to their suffering; hence active euthanasia should be permissible. Against this line of thought, the researcher argues that much of the suffering which terminally ill patients go through occurs because of the misapplication of the advanced medical technology. Therefore, mishandled, mistreated, or over-treated patients become alleged subjects of debate on active euthanasia. It may be argued that consensus o

Objective: Although in recent years the world has witnessed great advances in the medical field, much ambiguity still surrounds the issue of euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide, with increasingly favorable attitudes among physicians around the world. In our study, we aimed to assess the attitudes of physicians in Kuwait towards different types of euthanasia and examine whether physicians’ frequent encounters with terminally ill patients were associated with their approval.

Objective: The aim of the paper is to determine the role that psychiatrists should play in legislation that establishes a right to active voluntary euthanasia (AVE). Method: One version of the “slippery slope” argument, usually invoked against the legalisation of AVE, is recast as an argument for the introduction of strong safeguards in any future AVE legislation. The literature surrounding the prevalence of psychiatric illnesses in the terminally ill, physicians' ability to identify such illnesses and the aetiology of suicide in the terminally ill is examined.

Abstract:

The average age of individuals in the United States and worldwide is steadily increasing, resulting in an increase in the number of older, terminally ill adults who may seek counseling for end-of-life decisions. Euthanasia is one such end-of-life option that is emerging in the United States. Physician-assisted dying, currently the only legal form of active euthanasia in eight states and the District of Columbia, is a relatively new and often misunderstood end-of-life option. Although arguments continue about this issue, the American Mental Health Counselors Association has developed ethical co

This article addresses the extent to which, if at all, a person may lawfully ‘help’ another person, for example a terminally ill spouse, to take his own life or submit to euthanasia. It considers what intent is required to be proved for a crime and the situation where the intent is mercy. In addition, it looks at the position of a survivor of a suicide pact and whether there is a human right to die. Other questions raised are: How near to voluntary euthanasia is English law now? Is an advance decision ‘no treatment if I am terminally ill’ legally valid? What is the legal duty of the doctor tow

The aim of this study was to investigate the opinions of physicians and nurses on euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide in advanced cancer patients in Greece. Two hundred and fifteen physicians and 250 nurses from various hospitals in Greece completed a questionnaire concerning issues on euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide. More physicians (43.3%) than nurses (3.2%, p<0.0005) reported that in the case of a cardiac or respiratory arrest, they would not attempt to revive a terminally ill cancer patient. Only 1.9% of physicians and 3.6% of nurses agreed on physician-assisted suicide.

What doctors and particularly oncologists think about euthanasia must be taken into consideration, as their voices are crucial in this dialogue. The aim of this study was to find out how Turkish doctors approach euthanasia in the context of cancer. A questionnaire was used to collect data from 85 oncologists out of a total 800 in active oncology practice.Of the oncologists surveyed, 43.8% did not object to euthanasia. Some 33.7% had been asked to perform euthanasia and 41.5% believed

Abstract:

AbstractIn this chapter, I evaluate from a philosophical perspective the ongoing discussions in the Belgian civil society triggered by the euthanasia law and its implementation in end-of-life care since 2002. I challenge the idea that the so-called normalization of euthanasia is an established fact and I contend that the ongoing discussions on the possible abuses of the law and the practice of euthanasia are unavoidable. I see three reasons for this. First, in contrast with what some think, euthanasia can never become a “normal” therapeutic option, that could be integrated in standard medical practice. Euthanasia is, by its very nature, a transgression of a fundamental moral taboo and will thus always, however liberal the law might be, challenge the conscience of some physicians. Secondly, because of its transgressive meaning, every act of euthanasia can always be contested by family members or the larger society. This is the case when euthanasia is given to patients who are not terminally ill (such as psychiatric patients), but also when a physician performs euthanasia in an undignified and negligent way. Thirdly, the very existence of the law puts pressure not only on patients and physicians but also the larger society. By making euthanasia into a symbol of the good death, a whole society loses its sensitivity for the intrinsic transgressive nature of euthanasia and creates all sorts of strategies to mask the wavering of conscience that results from this collective negligence. There is no way, so I conclude, to avoid this. The wavering of conscience will continue to haunt the end-of-life care in Belgium as long as the law on euthanasia remains as it is.

AbstractEuthanasia is on everybody’s lips, the media, politicians, public services, and various organisations…. However, the debate is often biased or ill-informed, and it is my wish to contribute to this volume by describing the (harsh) reality surrounding the practise of euthanasia as accurately as possible.Life in our hospitals no longer runs smoothly and gently; it is exceedingly busy and often near breaking point. As a member of the healthcare staff, I notice how difficult it can be for us nurses, doctors, psychologists, and social workers, to keep our heads above water when it comes to ‘ethics’.

Abstract:

Emergency physicians may be faced with patients at the end of life who present with failed suicide attempts. This presents an ethical dilemma for both those in states where physician-assisted suicide is legal and those in states without such statutes. All 50 states have provisions for upholding the autonomy of competent patients to make decisions about end-of-life care. Three options are available to the emergency physician caring for a terminally ill patient with a failed suicide attempt: to assist a patient in completing an intended suicide (active euthanasia), to offer palliative care (passive euthanasia), or to override the patient’s wishes and provide life-saving treatment (standard treatment). When the patient’s wishes are clear, offering palliative treatment provides care in keeping with the patient’s desire to avoid pain and suffering. In situations in which questions exist regarding the patient’s wishes, a more conservative approach, aimed at stabilizing the patient, should be sought. Ethical and legal consultations are advised.

Abstract:

This chapter turns to one of the most important and controversial issues in medical ethics: euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide (PAS). The intensely personal scale of mercy killing makes it possible to consider practice in a very concrete way, including activities that shape the situations of very ill people and their relations with a variety of other moral agents, from family members and physicians to policymakers. The chapter explores not only human euthanasia and PAS but also killings of nonhuman animals, including both the euthanasia of beloved pets and the killing of homeless dogs and cats in shelters. This comparison highlights the difference that relationships make in ethical arguments. It also reveals how much species runs through ethical argumentation, in the form of unquestioned assumptions about what makes a life valuable.

Abstract:

‘On why medical ethics is exciting’ provides an introduction to medical ethics, which deals with some of the big moral questions: easing death and the morality of killing, for example. It takes us into the realm of politics. How should healthcare resources, necessarily limited, be distributed; and what should be the process for deciding? It is concerned with legal issues. Should it always be a crime for a doctor to practise euthanasia? When can a mentally ill person be treated against his will? Medical ethics ranges from the metaphysical to the mundanely practical. It is concerned not only with these large issues, but also with everyday medical practice.

Abstract:

An obvious part of veterinary science is about making animals better when they are ill, injured, or disabled. ‘Making illnesses better’ explains the processes involved in identifying what is wrong with an animal: initial observations and discussions with the owner and further tests, such as X-rays, ultrasound, and biological and chemical investigations. Veterinary treatments tend to belong to four broad methods: drugs, surgery, advice to change how patients are cared for, and euthanasia to prevent suffering where other treatments are not sufficiently likely to be beneficial. Multiple treatments are often combined in the care for each patient. However, treatments can often come with risks of unintended side-effects.
