Is Physician-Assisted Death Possible for People with Dementia? 228, 218226. Res. Palliat. Its value, however, is not in its legality, but in its comprehensive look at life with Alzheimers. WebPhysician-assisted suicide (PAS), which is currently the subject of intense and controversial discussion in medical ethics, is barely discussed in psychiatry, albeit there are already dementia patients in Germany and other European countries who end their own lives with the assistance of physicians. Background The terminal illness of late-stage (advanced) Alzheimers and related dementias is progressively cruel, burdensome, and can last years if caregivers assist oral feeding and hydrating. J. Med. If a visual inspection of the scatter plots for these variables suggested a non-linear relationship, the curve estimation function of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences, version 20.0 (SPSS 20.0) was used to assess this possibility. MeSH 52 Physicians and execution. After these transformations were applied, Pearsons correlation coefficient (r) was used to estimate the possible linear relationship between approval of euthanasia in selected cases and the above variables. General agreements about what he would want help avoid family rifts when a difficult decisionlike resuscitation or feeding tubesmust be decided. Bioethics 35, 438445.

Besides the above factors, which have been the most extensively discussed in the literature, several authors have raised concerns related to the practice of PAS in general, and in this population in particular. Sci. 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). It is perhaps significant that the countries in which PAS has been legally approved conform to the above profile. <>/MediaBox[0 0 612 792]/Parent 9 0 R/Resources<>/Font<>/ProcSet[/PDF/Text/ImageC]/XObject<>>>/StructParents 0/Tabs/S/Type/Page>> doi:10.2190/YH2B-8VVE-LA5A-02R2, Pereira, J.

This could compromise professional integrity and, over time, lead to ambiguities or even erosion of trust in doctor-patient relationships and the healthcare system among patients and their caregivers. To address this concern, people could write advance directives for physician-assisted death in According to the European Association of Palliative Care (EAPC)s Ethics Task Force, assisted dying is an umbrella term that encompasses both euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide. Euthanasia refers to an active intervention by the physician, involving the killing of the patient by the intentional administration of drugs.

Finally, as the analyses presented above are cross-sectional in nature, they cannot account for changes in attitudes, particularly in countries where euthanasia has recently achieved legal approval, or where cases involving euthanasia are being debated in courts of law. Third, as was mentioned in the previous section, reducing the worth of a patients life to their cognitive capacities alone poses certain problems; patients with dementia may continue to live in an experiential way even if severely cognitively impaired.

Finally, as Johnstone (2013) has pointed out, the use of dementia in public debates over assisted dying has led to the adoption of problematic imagery and metaphors to describe dementia. doi:10.1093/jmp/jhu026, Largent, E.

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. doi:10.1001/jama.2016.8499, Fam, J., Mahendran, R., and Kua, E. H. (2019). This could lead to the further stigmatization of patients with this disorder, and to an undue emphasis on euthanasia or PAS as the solution for those suffering from this illness. have pointed out that the endorsement of PAS creates a fundamental conflict between a physicians role as providing care to the vulnerable, and their participation in a destructive act (Sulmasy et al., 2016). Specific requirements for changing directives may vary by state. Doctors can easily access digitized copies of patient documents from the Registry to make informed decisions about patient end-of-life care. Therefore, individuals with dementia can be expected to decline to a state in which they can no longer communicate their treatment wishes. Attitudes and Practices of Euthanasia and Physician-Assisted Suicide in the United States, Canada, and Europe. The https:// ensures that you are connecting to the Advocacy for this position is often based on utilitarian philosophical principles, on appeals to the quality of life of the patient and their caregiver(s), or on economic constraints faced by caregivers as well as healthcare systems. Indeed, appeals to emotion or sentimentality may lead to a simplistic attitude of approval towards PAS (Nichols, 2013).

(2014). 8600 Rockville Pike 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). In this context, it is also worth discussing the argument made by Krag (Krag, 2014) at more length. There has been an increasing drive towards the legalization of physician-assisted suicide (PAS) in patients with dementia, particularly in patients with advanced disease and severe cognitive impairment. Bioethics 28, 9699. 2015 Aug;41(8):701-7. doi: 10.1136/medethics-2014-102024.

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. Conventional arguments in favour of this practice in dementia each have their own limitations, and in each case, alternatives to PAS are both conceivable and feasible in principle. doi:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2019.0828, Zwingmann, I., Hoffmann, W., Michalowsky, B., Dreier-Wolfgramm, A., Hertel, J., Wucherer, D., et al. (2012). This was observed in a study of the general public in the United States, where over 54% of respondents expressed approval of PAS for dementia initially, but only 2140% continued to express approval when provided with specific scenarios (Mangino et al., 2021). The first of these goals will be addressed through an analysis of existing survey data, while the second will be addressed through a narrative review and critical analysis of the existing literature on euthanasia or PAS in patients with dementia. Impact of Medical Assistance in Dying on Palliative Care: a Qualitative Study. If this is the case, one would expect the plot of social capital against approval of euthanasia to take on a U-shape, with higher levels of social capital in societies with more uniform attitudes (either positive or negative) towards euthanasia, and lower scores in societies where attitudes are less uniform. 58, 3445. HHS Vulnerability Disclosure, Help Third, with advances in the identification of pre-dementia through biomarker techniques, the possibility of PAS in pre-symptomatic individuals has been seriously considered by some authors (van der Burg et al., 2019). If the presence of these symptoms in dementia is considered a sufficient indication for PAS, this opens the door to the approval of PAS in patients with any severe or resistant mental illness or behavioural disorder; this has already occurred in some countries where PAS has been legalized (Dierickx et al., 2017; Verhofstadt et al., 2021). (2011). Pullman, D. (2004). J. Med. Socioeconomic Status and Medical Assistance in Dying: A Regional Descriptive Study. J.

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. Gerontologist 59, e597e610. Similarly, it has been observed that physicians with authoritarian values corresponding to a high cultural power distance are less likely to concur with hypothetical requests for euthanasia in patients with dementia (Richter et al., 2001).
