While its standard practice to conduct these meetings in person, some states are suspending in-person requirements and allowing people to conduct such interactions online. These limitation are, to a certain degree, inherent to the complex nature of the question being addressed in this paper. In dementia, economically-driven systemic decisions appear to act as a barrier to the provision of other specific forms of care, such as nursing interventions (Karrer et al., 2020) and may lead to the excessive use of other forms of treatment, such as typical antipsychotics (Stakiaitis et al., 2019) and feeding tubes (Finucane et al., 2007), based on cost considerations rather than evidence.

Pew Res. 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. While such interventions may require more investment in terms of manpower, infrastructure and budgetary allotment than PAS, this is not in itself a reason to reject them or consider them inferior especially in regions where there are social, cultural or religious factors which lead to disapproval of assisted dying. doi:10.1097/YCO.0000000000000523, Fekadu, A., Wooderson, S.

Slippery-slope objections to legalizing physician-assisted suicide and voluntary euthanasia.

On the one hand, White women are more likely than ethnic minority women to trust the healthcare system (Wicher and Meeker, 2012); on the other hand, they are exposed to disadvantages in terms of economic status, access to palliative care, and cultural ideas of femininity as self-sacrificing. These factors interact with aggressive messaging from physicians, experts and the media about the desirability and dignity associated with PAS.

It can be argued that this principle is not absolute with regards to end-of-life decisions (Fontalis et al., 2018), and that, when viewed from a different philosophical perspective, euthanasia or PAS may not be an ethically viable response to a fear of disintegration (Gastmans and De Lepeleire, 2010).

This finding is easily understood given that societies with a high power distance show higher levels of respect and deference towards elders, who are often the target population for physician-assisted dying (Moshe and Gershfeld-Litvin, 2020). Last Name The Canadian government has proposed delaying the mental illness provision one year: until March 17, 2024.

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. In view of the cognitive deterioration that inevitably accompanies dementia, the last argument made in this context centers on the primacy of patient autonomy and of the patients wishes.

His conclusion is that, given that even this non-marginalized group is likely to be at risk of the abuse or inappropriate use of PAS, continued restrictions on this practice represent the most prudent course of action. 4 0 obj Finally, due to the heterogeneity and semi-qualitative nature of the material being considered, a formal systematic review or meta-analysis was not possible. A different but related argument was offered by Kipke (2015), who pointed out that, once one endorses PAS, there are no coherent ethical objections to the provision of assisted suicide outside the healthcare system, including the commercialization of this practice; in other words, permitting PAS in a medical setting could eventually lead to the implementation of this practice on a for-profit basis. Please enable it to take advantage of the complete set of features! Physician-assisted suicide occurs when a physician provides a medical means for death, usually a prescription for a lethal amount of medication that the patient takes on his or her own. 50, 12411256. Med Health Care Philos. Due to situations like COVID-19, not everyone can meet with a notary or witness in person. Is life defined by consciousness? From an ethical perspective, this would represent a significant paradigm shift from existing standards of care in neuropsychiatry, where suicide is seen as something to be prevented rather than permitted under supervision (Serafini et al., 2016; D'Anci et al., 2019); this could also lead to a slippery slope phenomenon where PAS is seen as the simplest or most cost-effective intervention for any difficult-to-treat neuropsychiatric disorder, particularly in vulnerable populations. Psychiatry 29, 384394. If these cases are excluded and only assisted dying (euthanasia or PAS) is taken into consideration, a different picture emerges, with significant implications for the legalization and implementation of this practice. 10 Advance Directives, Dementia, and Physician-Assisted Death P.
