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

Abstract:

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.

Abstract:

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.

This article explores the use of empirical data when considering whether to legalize physician-assisted suicide (PAS) and voluntary euthanasia. In particular, it focuses on the evidence available to the Select Committee for the Assisted Dying for the Terminally Ill Bill on whether or not covert euthanasia is taking place in the UK under the current prohibition of PAS and voluntary euthanasia. The article shows that there is an insufficient evidentiary basis to make any claims about the extent of covert euthanasia within the UK, although there is sufficient evidence to conclude that instances o

In Australia, the Act on the Rights of the Terminally Ill of 1995 legalized the institution of assisted suicide, which is not identical to active euthanasia. The difference lies in the fact that legalized active euthanasia means that the author of a murder is not punishable (under certain circumstances), whilst assisted suicide is not about murder, rat

Abstract:

Discussions on euthanasia usually revolve around medical, legal and moral issues geared at determining the extent to which a physician may feel obliged to accede to the request of the terminally ill patient to bring to a graceful end his or her pain and suffering by assisting the patient to die. In some jurisdictions, physicians are statutorily conceded such rights in spite of the Hippocratic Oath. But the conservatively religious would have none of such as life is seen as sacred which only the Creator could terminate at the chosen time. This paper examines various views on euthanasia, zeroing

Euthanasia or “good death”, in the early seventeenth century, became part of the field of medical ethics through the English philosopher, Francis Bacon. He advocated that euthanasia, as “sweet and peaceful death” of the sick, should be sought by the physicians, with their care, and disapproved the abandonment, as determined by the Hippocratic tradition. The word euthanasia underwent a change in its Baconian sense, in the nineteenth century, when it came to mean death intentionally provoked as a way to achieve “good death.” Palliative medicine, however, represents the realization of current me

Several longitudinal studies show that over time the American public has become more approving of euthanasia and suicide for terminally ill persons. Yet, these previous findings are limited because they derive from biased estimates of disaggregated hierarchical data.

For more than two decades euthanasia and assisted suicide have been openly debated in the Netherlands.

In this case the court concluded that the average Dutch physician no longer considered it his or her duty to prolong a patient's life under all circumstances. The court accepted that in specific cases a physician is allowed to prevent serious and irreversible suffering,

Abstract:

Euthanasia is a new phenomenon which emerges in medical fields and it may become the process of entering in common use, though, it has undergone a long history with sharp ethical, legal, and philosophical controversies among philosophers and theologians. In addition, it may cause arguments for and against its use among physicians in treating gravely ill patients suffering from terminally dead diseases. Therefore, some governments try to legalize it in their parliaments. Although it may be considered as a new good alternative for treating such patients, there is no single criterion for its appl

Abstract:

PURPOSE AND METHODS There is an ongoing debate about the legalization of euthanasia. The attitudes and beliefs of the general public and physicians appear to differ; the views of patients have not been adequately explored. During 1995, we conducted a simultaneous survey in the province of Alberta, Canada, of a random sample of 1,240 individuals from the general population, 179 physicians, and 62 consecutive patients with terminal cancer. The same instrument was administered to the public and physicians through telephone interview, and to patients in a face-to-face interview. Statements related

Abstract:

“[A] murder prosecution is a poor way to design an ethical and moral code for doctors,” observed the California Court of Appeal in 1983. Yet, physicians who have chosen to help terminally ill patients to commit suicide have trespassed on illegal ground. When skilled medical care fails to relieve the pain of terminally ill patients, some people believe that physicians may assist in these suicides. Others reject any kind of physician involvement. The debate on assisted suiczide and active euthanasia has focused on whether these acts can ever be acceptable. We propose to shift the debate to a les

Abstract:

Some patients with advanced cancer express the wish for an early death. This may be associated with depression. We examined the relations between depressive symptoms and desire for early death (natural or by euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide) in 142 terminally ill patients with cancer being cared for by a specialist palliative care team. They completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale questionnaire and answered four supplementary questions on desire for early death. Only 2 patients expressed a strong wish for death by some form of suicide or euthanasia. 120 denied that they eve

Abstract:

Euthanasia is undoubtedly the protagonist of many of the debates around the end of life both among health staff and in the general population. Considering that nurses provide care for terminally ill patients and support families and patients in their final days, it is essential to know their attitudes towards euthanasia. The aims of the study were to adapt and validate the Attitude Towards Euthanasia scale to a Spanish context, to test the dimensionality and to estimate the reliability of the scale. A cross-sectional study was conducted with a non-probabilistic sample of Spanish health-workers

Abstract:

Publicity accorded American physician-pathologist Jack Kevorkian and “physician-assisted suicide” bring a new, technological, twist to euthanasia. How and when we die and its meaning and how we live reflect cultural values within a historical context. High costs of medical care for the terminally ill when the cost of health care is the most rapidly rising portion of the consumer price index, Medicare expenses are the highest in the last year of life, and an estimated thirty-seven million people remain uninsured make euthanasia increasingly salient. Faced with great pain and the emotional and f

Abstract:

Objective: The paper critically appraises the argument that requests for active assistance to die should be subject to mandatory psychiatric assessment. Method: The argument for mandatory psychiatric assessment is usually supported by an appeal to the need for safeguards against errors and omissions in both the diagnosis of psychiatric conditions affecting the terminally ill and the exploration of the meanings of their requests. This intuitively appealing view is challenged through a broader analysis which examines connections between medicine's traditional adherence to the moral distinction b
