Soc. 36 0 obj From an ethical perspective, this would represent a significant paradigm shift from existing standards of care in neuropsychiatry, where suicide is seen as something to be prevented rather than permitted under supervision (Serafini et al., 2016; D'Anci et al., 2019); this could also lead to a slippery slope phenomenon where PAS is seen as the simplest or most cost-effective intervention for any difficult-to-treat neuropsychiatric disorder, particularly in vulnerable populations. World Values Survey (2021). Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY). Physician-assisted death could be made accessible by advance directive, as in the Netherlands and Belgium, but no legalization of active aid in dying in the United States or Canada permits its use by those who are not contemporaneously competent. Why Physician-Assisted Suicide Perpetuates the Idolatory of Medicine. This is particularly important in the case of dementia, where there are already significant barriers to care (Werner et al., 2014; Kenning et al., 2017).

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). (2021). These limitation are, to a certain degree, inherent to the complex nature of the question being addressed in this paper. First, a higher gross national income was strongly and positively correlated with societal approval of euthanasia in selected cases, and this association remained significant even after correcting for the influence of other variables.

It has been argued that PAS may lead to substantial savings at the systemic level (Trachtenberg and Manns, 2017); this could lead to a tendency to offer or recommend PAS to patients with dementia as a cost-effective measure (Bilchik, 1996). This is a matter of concern, given that cost-driven decisions and policies in healthcare often impose a disproportionate burden on the socially disadvantaged (Lazar and Davenport, 2018). It is argued that, given the loss of autonomy that is entailed by cognitive decline, patients should have the right to choose PAS via advance directive prior to the onset of such decline.

Elaborating on these points in a further review (Sulmasy et al., 2018), the same author draws on the same argument, and further adduces arguments that have been discussed earlier in this paper, such as the limits of autonomy, the distinction between active killing and passive denial of particular treatments, the social ramifications of suicide and assisted suicide, and the possibility of a slippery slope characterized by incremental extension. Based on these, he concludes that the medical profession should continue its opposition to PAS on both prudential and ethical grounds. Instead, other countries and cultures might benefit from alternative approaches to alleviate the suffering caused to patients and caregivers by this condition. J. Gen.
