At a time when healthcare establishments are facing sensitive financial and institutional challenges, how can ethics be given a place in psychiatry? In society, ethical debates focus on surrogate motherhood, active euthanasia or assisted suicide, and embryo research. In psychiatry, the question often crystallizes around violent incidents that are hardly representative of the daily lives of professionals and patients. Militant discourse prevails over listening to the people concerned. The law requires establishments to reflect on the ethical issues raised by the reception and medical care of patients, without specifying the boundaries...

Medical assistance in dying (MAiD) is the Canadian equivalent of Physician aid-in-dying (PAD) in the United States. Through changes to the eligibility criteria for MAiD in 2021, Canada now has one of the most permissive assisted dying regimens in the world. This study describes Canadian genetic counselors' experiences, knowledge, and preparedness to discuss MAiD with their patients. Survey responses were collected from Canadian genetic counselors (n = 44) and were followed by semi-structured interviews with 14 survey participants...

Medical aid in dying (MAID) is a practice that has been expanding in the United States over the past few decades. As it becomes a viable option for a growing portion of the American population, nurse practitioners (NPs) need to be prepared to engage in conversation with patients about the practice. Although historically only physicians were able to participate in MAID, the role has recently expanded to include additional advanced practice providers, including NPs. Reviewing the history of MAID and examining how current legislation affects clinical practice can support the NP's ability to educate and counsel patients about the option...

OBJECTIVE: This paper examines neurologists' approaches to exit strategies (ESs), such as euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide, in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (PALS) in two European countries. METHODS: In a nationwide anonymous survey, we collected responses from 237 Polish and 228 German neurologists, focusing on their practices and beliefs about ESs, as well as their viewpoints on life-sustaining measures (LSMs) (percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, non-invasive, and invasive ventilation)...

INTRODUCTION: With the development of human society, the question of the value and inviolability of human life begins to occupy a central place in the various social strata and social structures. With the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights after the Second World War, the basic postulates protecting the right to inviolability of human life were laid. The question focused on euthanasia has been discussed in several European countries, such as Germany, Ireland, France, and Italy, leading to considerable interest in the medical community in Bulgaria...

BACKGROUND: In 2016, Canada joined the growing number of jurisdictions to legalize medical assistance in dying (MAiD), when the Supreme Court of Canada's decision in Carter v Canada took effect and the Canadian Parliament passed Bill C-14. Five years later, Bill C-7 introduced several significant amendments. These included removing the 'reasonably foreseeable natural death' requirement (an aspect that was widely debated) and introducing the final consent waiver. Since Bill C-7 is so new, very little research has investigated its operation in practice...

BACKGROUND: In the context of nationwide law reform, New South Wales (NSW) became the last state in Australia to legalise voluntary assisted dying (VAD) - commencing 28 November 2023. Clinicians have divergent views regarding VAD, with varying levels of understanding, support, and willingness to be involved, and these may have a significant impact on the successful implementation. AIMS: To understand levels of support, understanding and willingness to be involved in VAD among clinical staff across NSW during implementation of VAD...

Medical aid in dying (MAiD), despite being legal in many jurisdictions, remains controversial ethically. Existing surveys of physicians' perceptions of MAiD tend to focus on the legal or moral permissibility of MAiD in general. Using a novel sampling strategy, we surveyed physicians likely to have engaged in MAiD-related activities in Colorado to assess their attitudes toward contemporary ethical issues in MAiD.

BACKGROUND: Doctors are increasingly faced with end-of-life decisions. Little is known about how medical students approach euthanasia. The objective of this study was to evaluate, among medical students and residents, the view on euthanasia and its variants; correlate such a view with empathy and religiosity/spiritualism; and with the stages of medical training in Brazil. METHODS: This is an exploratory cross-sectional study using an online questionnaire to be filled out on a voluntary basis among medical students and residents, consisting of: socio-demographic data, an empathy questionnaire and questions with elaborate clinical cases that typify situations of the variants of euthanasia...

REVIEW

UNLABELLED: Medical aid in dying (MAID) is a highly controversial ethical issue in the global medical community. Unfortunately, the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) of the World Health Organization (WHO) lacks coding for MAID. Therefore, no robust data adequately monitors worldwide trends that include information on diseases and conditions underlying the patients' request for assisted dying ("MAID gap"). Countries with legalised MAID observe substantial increases in cases, and likely additional countries will allow MAID in the near future...

PURPOSE: Voluntary stopping of eating and drinking (VSED) is a controversial method to hasten death. Little is known about why and how people come to VSED. This study assessed patients' motives, how patients decide on VSED, and the ways in which they prepare for VSED and involve others. METHODS: We conducted a qualitative study in the Netherlands of 29 patients; 24 started VSED and 19 died. Thirteen patients were included before or during VSED and 16 afterward. We interviewed 17 patients, 18 relatives, and 10 professional caregivers...

According to the "discrimination argument," it would be discriminatory and hence impermissible to categorically exclude people with mental illness (PMI) from access to assisted suicide (AS) if AS is accessible to people with somatic illnesses. In objection to this, it could be argued that excluding PMI is not discriminatory, but rather based on their inability to meet certain eligibility criteria for AS. Which criteria are deemed necessary depends on the approach taken to justifying AS. In this article, we describe two distinct ethical approaches to justifying AS and the eligibility criteria they entail and examine whether PMI can fulfill these criteria...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Esther Braun
According to the expressivist objection, laws that only allow assisted dying for those suffering from certain medical conditions express the judgement that their lives are not worth living. I have recently argued that an autonomy-based approach that legally allows assisted suicide for all who make an autonomous request is a way to avoid the expressivist objection. In response to this, Thomas Donaldson has argued that rather than avoiding the expressivist objection, an autonomy-based approach extends this objection...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
W Craig Fowler, Harold G Koenig
There is a pressing debate in the United States concerning the implied physicians' obligation to do no harm and the status of legalizing physician-assisted suicide (PAS). Key issues that underpin the debate are important to consider. These include: (1) foundational medical beginnings; (2) euthanasia's historical and legal background context; and (3) the key arguments held by those for and against legalization of PAS. This paper reviews the major claims made by proponents for the legalization of PAS and the associated complexities and concerns that help underscore the importance of conscience freedoms...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Eric Vogelstein
This paper aims to refute a common line of argument that it is immoral for physicians to engage in medical assistance in death (MAiD), i.e., the practices of euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide. The argument in question is based on the notion that participating in MAiD is contrary to the professional-role obligations of physicians, due to MAiD's putative inconsistency with the ends of medicine. The paper describes several major flaws from which that argument suffers.
