A recent paper in the journal Bioethics [doi:10.1111/j.1467-8519.2012.01968.x]
looks at differences between psychiatrists and physicians with regard to euthanasia.
When controlled for religious
practice, psychiatrists expressed more conservative views regarding euthanasia
than did physicians from other medical specialties. The authors of the research
conclude that the study shows that psychiatrists are well suited to take a
prominent role in evaluating such requests to die and making a decision as to
the relative importance of competing variables. There is no doubt that this
issue is an ethical minefield and one which is sure to exercise energy on both
sides of the argument. It goes to very heart of what we consider to be reasonable
suffering and pain.
This article shows that the euthanasia is morally and ethically wrong; http://koti.phnet.fi/petripaavola/euthanasia.html
ReplyDeleteI read a news recently that a man in UK was denied of his request for euthanasia. His life relies on a life support system only.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing an Important News,Reports from specialist palliative care services indicate that less than 5% of patients have pain that is difficult to control given drug therapy, Unrelieved pain and physical symptoms are cited less frequently than in the past. However, unrelieved pain, or fear of unrelieved pain at some time in the future, is an important reason why patients may seek assisted dying.

Euthanasia is performed by the attending physician administering a fatal dose of a suitable drug to the patient on his or her express request. The relevant Dutch legislation also covers physician-assisted suicide.
