Ethics for End of Life Care

In an article titled "The End of Life Ethics", Jos V. M Welie introduces Terri Schiavo's case. The state of Schiavo is called PVS or "continuous nutrition". The main question imposed is whether she should continue to treat her at a dark recovery opportunity. This led directly to the next issue of the role of medicine and technology in the last days of life. How do you decide which treatment to use for which patients? Today, most physicians believe they must be "medical instructions" before starting or continuing treatment.

Applying ethics to hospice care is a tremendous work for those involved in making active or passive euthanasia decisions, as well as palliative care for themselves or their loved ones.

According to Mosser (2014), euthanasia, or right. Early painless death: Let only live to experience persistent pain, what purpose? "(Paragraph 3, paragraph 32).

Comments to doctors, patients, carers face many moral dilemmas at the end of their lives. Many of these ethical dilemmas can be avoided by good dialogue between patients, physicians and caregivers, and effective advanced care programs. Compliance with the central role of patient self determination and the ethical principle of autonomy is essential for good hospice care, but the role of a doctor as a moral subject can not be ruled out. End of life withdrawal and continuing intervention are morally equivalent and are certainly acceptable when meeting patient values ​​and objectives. The ethical principle of dual effect provides the basis for proper pain management at the end of the patient's life. Doctor's suicide will change the integrity of the relationship between the patient and the doctor This relationship has always brought compassion and comfort, not in life. This may weaken the social decision to provide good care for dying patients.
