Though economic considerations are important in the efficient running of healthcare systems, the interests of the patient should not be subordinated to them (Meier, 1997). An undue emphasis on PAS would tend to have a chilling effect on such lines of research and reduce funding for them, potentially depriving patients of effective alternatives or even of adequate palliative care (Hendin et al., 2021).

A multi-centre, quasi-experimental study was conducted to test the feasibility and acceptability of a theory Similarly, a sample of the Dutch general public, 40% of respondents considered PAS unacceptable even in advanced dementia; disapproval was stronger in older subjects and in those with higher self-reported religiosity (Brinkman-Stoppelenburg et al., 2020).

Thus, both euthanasia and PAS require the intervention of a physician, with the only difference between the two practices being the person who administers the drugs in question. 41, 7489. Homicidal Ideation in Family Carers of People with Dementia. Curr. While the former is considered a form of PAS in several religious traditions and therefore unacceptable (Shannon and Walter, 2004; Rosner and Abramson, 2009; Alsolamy, 2014), the latter would be considered permissible, and could addressed through advance care planning (van Wijmen et al., 2015).

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. Socioeconomic Status and Medical Assistance in Dying: A Regional Descriptive Study. 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. 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. 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.

A person with Alzheimers disease may lack capacities to drive, handle financial affairs, or live independently in the community, but retain the capacity to make competent decisions about place of residence and medical care at the end-of-life. Despite these limitations, this analysis suggests that approval of euthanasia and, by extension, PAS may be strongest in societies characterized by a high income, higher social capital, low religiosity, higher cultural individualism, and lower cultural uncertainty avoidance. 34 0 obj ; Steinbock, B., 2013: Advance directives, dementia, and physician-assisted death 2019 Jul 1;76(7):864-866. doi: 10.1001/jamaneurol.2019.0797.

What is needed is not advocacy of PAS as a quick fix for the complex problems encountered by patients with dementia and their caregivers, but respecting patients humanity and providing them with more care, compassion, and good doctoring. (Cohen-Almagor, 2016; Hendin et al., 2021), and an attitude of neutrality or passivity on the part of the medical profession is, as Sulmasy et al. PMC 36 0 obj (2019). Linacre Q. Other strategies that have empirical or theoretical support, but have not yet been evaluated in controlled trials, include better physical and mental health services for caregivers (von Knel et al., 2019), and the assessment and provision of social, financial and legal support tailored to individual needs (Zwingmann et al., 2019). The significant discrepancy between these results suggests that legalization of PAS may produce significant shifts in the attitudes of caregivers towards this practice, regardless of their earlier attitudes; moreover, such attitudes and shifts are unlikely to be uniform, and may be crucially influenced by variables such as sex and ethnicity (Owen et al., 2001; Wicher and Meeker, 2012; Stolz et al., 2015; Cohen-Mansfield and Brill, 2020) as well as by individual political and religious beliefs (Kemmelmeier et al., 2002; Richter et al., 2001; O'Dwyer et al., 2016). doi:10.1093/geront/gny049, Werner, P., Goldstein, D., Karpas, D.

It may be appropriate to appoint a legal guardian to make decisions about property or finances, for example, yet leave other decisionsperhaps personal care, food, shelter and medical careto the person with Alzheimers disease. 116, 411. 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.

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).

It is also worth noting that while dementia is not consistently associated with completed suicide, rates of assisted dying in this population have been noted to increase when it is legally permitted (Diehl-Schmid et al., 2017); this phenomenon is reminiscent of the increased suicide rates seen in countries or cultures where access to means of suicide is easier (Sarchiapone et al., 2011).

Basing decisions regarding PAS on the least expensive or most cost-effective option subordinates the rights of both patients and caregivers to economic factors (Bilchik, 1996; Meier, 1997; Gerk, 2017) and opens the door to various forms of abuse (Kipke, 2015). doi:10.1177/1471301220922766, Dening, K.

Though such symptoms are conventionally treated with medications such as atypical antipsychotics and antidepressants, their efficacy is modest and their use is often limited by adverse drug reactions (Yunusa et al., 2019; Seibert et al., 2021).
