Instead of God bringing you to your death, one is giving ones life away, but asking for it in medical terms. In a lot of these articles there are issues with saying that assisted suicide is not wrong because one is being assisted with someone of
Physician-Assisted Suicide: Should physician assisted suicide is legal? PHI103 Informal Logic Angel Vasquez December 3, 2012 Physician-Assisted Suicide: Should physician assisted suicide be legal? The voluntary termination of one’s own life by administration of a lethal substance with the direct or indirect assistance of a physician assisted suicide is the practice of providing a competent patient with a prescription for medication for the patient to use with primary intention of ending his or her own life. I believe there are many things to consider about physician assisted suicide. “The history of law’s treatment of assisted suicide in this country has been and continues to be one of the rejections of nearly all efforts to permit
It is not enough to simply keep the body alive, the spirit that is within it must be tended to as well. Is it mere convenience to assist a person that is terminally ill, with their suicide? Is it moral, to end the suffering of one at the expense of their family’s emotional pain? My argument against euthanasia would be to better improve the quality of life for an ailing individual, rather than terminate their life. It may not be cost effective, or the most convenient for friends and family and hospital staff, but it provides the satisfaction that everything that could have been done, was done.
A physician job description is to aim at the provision of treatments with health benefits in the patient’s best interest, and to avoid adverse outcomes (Fiona Randall & Robin Downie 2010). Once a patient has died it is no coming back and the physician does not want this one their conscience when one day a cure could come along for terminally ill patients. Physicians are to heal and prolong life not take a life. Granted, physician assisted suicide if it does become legal it is still a decision left
Damage to the frontal lobe lowers intellectual functioning and an individual’s ability to judge and plan. If one part of the brain is not working correctly then this can cause confusion, hallucinations, mis identities, delusions and false beliefs and the individual may drift back in to their past. Other factors that may contribute to dementia are a person’s age, anxiety, poor physical health, poor sensory health, gender ethnicity and certain medications also may be a contributing factor. Ensuring an individual leads a healthy lifestyle can help reduce the risk of dementia although this is not proven. An individual suffering with dementia will change over time as a result of their condition but they remain an individual and still have their own needs, likes and dislikes and should still be treated as an individual.
Are doctors lie to patients that will help them out? They found that patients don't know the truth or “keep in the dark”. They “feel betrayed.” (337) However, the partient knows the “truthful information, humanely conveyed, helps patients cope with illness: helps them tolerate pain better, need less medication, and even recover faster after surgery.”(337) I suggest that partients know their conditions immediately. If partient’s situation is terminal means almost the end of life. That will help them spend their remaining time carefully, and they don’t have doubts during the rest of the life.
I feel that the Pearland Health Center tends to provide the best care under intense circumstances. There are quite a bit of emergency facilities that do not the experience, expertise, equipment, and professional tolerance as do the Pearland Health Center. Usually, other facilities, in intense cases, will just ship a client off to the nearest major hospital in which may be an inconvenience to the client and their loved ones. For example, an emergency facility in Pearland only deals with minor issues, so if a case is major not only will they ship them off to the nearest major hospital but the hospital may be thirty to forty minutes away. I have to say that the Pearland Health Center will at least try to fix the issue before suggesting other
Adults diagnosed with depression, or even adult ADHD, have an idea of who they were before the medication, and as such, can see the differences that medication may, or may not, have made. The, arguably, more adverse, long-term effect, is that it gives an illusion that behavioral problems can be solved with drugs and prevents us from seeking the more complex solutions (Sroufe,
As a care worker me and my colleagues need to consider our own attitudes and interactions with a person with dementia. Any negative attitudes and interactions from others will add to the individual’s negative feelings and experience of disability. Just because they have dementia and forget things and appear confused does not mean that they don’t have feelings and emotions. A positive attitude and smiling face might help them forgetting only for a few moments how ill they really are, and brighten up their day just for a few minutes. As well as a negative attitude and a sad pitiful face might increase the individual’s negative feelings and increase the speed of the deterioration of the brain through
