In this contribution we discuss some of the main arguments: the nature of suffering, the voluntariness of the request and the role of the physician. 62 0 obj Psychol. It is also possible that individuals may express approval of PAS as an abstract notion, but be more disapproving when presented with concrete cases. Dementia is ruled out as a candidate for PAD, even if she is terminally ill and suffering terrible and unrelievable pain, which rules out individuals with strong and unwavering desires not to end their life in dementia. Whereas advance directives identify a surrogate decision-maker and provide guidelines and values underlying a patients wishes, POLSTs turn those wishes into medical actions ordered by a physician. 9, 230236.

Steinbock Medicine Journal of Law, Analyses of real-world cases reveal the very real potential of ethical violations, as in a recent case where the final decision regarding euthanasia in a patient with dementia was taken by physicians, despite the patients apparent ambivalence, and included the surreptitious administration of a sedative to the patient prior to euthanasia (Jongsma et al., 2019; Miller et al., 2019).

This includes, among other things, making decisions about when to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining treatment. The final model included only two variables gross national income and uncertainty avoidance and explained approximately 58% of the variance in attitudes towards euthanasia (R2 = 0.628; adjusted R2 = 0.581). doi:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2019.9891, Gastmans, C., and De Lepeleire, J.

Elaborating on these points in a further review (Sulmasy et al., 2018), the same author draws on the same argument, and further adduces arguments that have been discussed earlier in this paper, such as the limits of autonomy, the distinction between active killing and passive denial of particular treatments, the social ramifications of suicide and assisted suicide, and the possibility of a slippery slope characterized by incremental extension. Based on these, he concludes that the medical profession should continue its opposition to PAS on both prudential and ethical grounds. doi:10.1159/000500183, Mondragn, J.

MAID entails a physician or nurse practitioner administering, prescribing, or providing to a patient, at the patients request, a substance that will cause the patients death. What is needed, instead, is the identification a middle position that recognizes the futility of aggressive or heroic treatments in advanced dementia, while avoiding the pitfalls associated with euthanasia or PAS (Jones, 1997; Hendin et al., 2021). Advance care planning (ACP) is highly relevant for people with early-stage dementia to communicate their care preferences for serious illness conditions with their family caregivers before they become mentally incapacitated. 61 0 obj and transmitted securely. Int. It has also been noted that, in some cases, those belonging to a higher socio-economic stratum may also be overrepresented among those opting for PAS, again suggesting that simple linear arguments based on caregiver costs do not tell the entire story (Krag, 2014). While 40% of carers in a small sample from a developed country did contemplate the possibility of PAS, the same respondents also mentioned that they would prefer optimal end-of-life care to PAS. 2019 Feb;45(2):90-91. doi: 10.1136/medethics-2018-104780.

Second, as this field of debate is still relatively young, and societal attitudes towards this practice are changing rapidly in some parts of the world, a cross-sectional review of this sort may fail to identify significant shifts in attitudes towards PAS (Nicolini et al., 2020). 46, 101106. 83, 246257. doi:10.1177/0141076818803452, Fornaro, M., Carvalho, A.

Dementia Advance Directives, Dementia, and Physician-Assisted Death Authors: Paul T. Menzel Pacific Lutheran University Bonnie Steinbock University at Uncertainty avoidance refers to the manner in which a society or culture handles ambiguous or unclear situations; a high score on this dimension indicates a low tolerance of uncertainty, and the existence of beliefs or institutions that attempt to avoid ambiguity and provide unequivocal answers or solutions. Given the ambiguity and uncertainty that surrounds an issue such as assisted dying (Pullman, 2004; Niebroj et al., 2013), it is natural that societies scoring high on uncertainty avoidance would attempt to resolve this through uniform disapproval.

The results of these surveys suggests that significant conflicts of interest could arise in this setting; though the Schuurmans et al. Basic research is beginning to elucidate the molecular mechanisms associated with specific types of BPSD (Scassellati et al., 2020; Degawa et al., 2021; Kobayashi et al., 2021); novel therapeutic strategies are being developed and evaluated (Magierski et al., 2020); and in some cases, non-pharmacological strategies may also be safe and effective (Abraha et al., 2017; Wang et al., 2019).

In a similar vein, a study assessing overt homicidal ideation in a sample of 21 carers of patients with dementia found that only two subjects overtly expressed such ideation, while four expressed a wish for the patient to die with no homicidal intent. Given the drastic and final nature of PAS as a proposed solution for caregiver burden in dementia, it would be prudent to carefully assess such relationships first, and to consider alternate forms of assistance that do not entail the immediate death of the patient. 2. We argue that in many cases they should be, and that a sliding scale which considers both autonomy and the capacity for enjoyment provides the best justification for determining when: when written by a previously well-informed and competent person, such a directive gains in authority as the later person's capacities to generate new critical interests and to enjoy life decrease. These results are consistent with those of a similar study examining changes in attitudes towards this practice across countries, which also found a positive correlation between higher national income and approval of euthanasia (Inglehart et al., 2021). Given that one of the major reasons cited for choosing or desiring PAS is to preserve ones autonomy in the face of impending suffering or death, this association is also understandable. WebSign in.

Power distance, a measure of hierarchy and top-down social structure, was negatively correlated with approval. The number of dementia patients requesting euthanasia in the Netherlands has increased over the past five years.
