  • Introduction Analysis
    AYEH, TEXAS LAW OBSTRUCTS PREGNANT MOTHER’S RIGHT TO DIE, VOICES IN BIOETHICS, VOL. 1 (2014-15) Texas Law Obstructs Pregnant Mother’s Right to Die Derek Ayeh* Keywords: bioethics, ethics, abortion, Texas INTRODUCTION By now the legitimacy of do not resuscitate (DNR) orders are acknowledged by everyone – if a patient presents an advanced directive or their family members agree as to what the patient’s wishes were for end- of-life care, then life-sustaining treatments can be withdrawn or withheld. However, a Texas law is preventing a pregnant woman from exercising the choice to not be resuscitated. ANALYSIS The woman, Marlise Munoz, was found unconscious in late November and since then has not regained consciousness. However, the fetus she carries continues to have a beating heart and there is a Texas state law that puts the rights of a fetus over the wishes of its mother. Her husband, Erik Munoz, along with her parents all agreed that it would have been against Marlise’s wishes to be kept on life support. Already we can see how different this case is from the Terri Schiavo case between husband and parents. Instead this case is between the Marlise family and the John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth. It’s easy to see how this case could slip into questions of pro-life versus pro-choice. This issue pits the mother’s choices against the ‘best interests’ of the fetus (or at least, what certain groups interpret as the fetus’s best interests). However, a best interests stance is not straightforward in this case either.

  • La Necessità Di Diritti Infelici. Il Diritto Di Morire Come Limite All’Intervento Penale(*)
    LA NECESSITÀ DI DIRITTI INFELICI. IL DIRITTO DI MORIRE COME LIMITE ALL’INTERVENTO PENALE(*) di Massimo Donini Lasciar morire una persona in un modo che altri approvano, ma che essa considera in orribile contraddizione con la sua vita, è una forma di tirannia odiosa e distruttiva. Ronald Dworkin1 Abstract. Lo studio mette in chiaro che la situazione del malato in condizioni irreversibili e di crudele sofferenza per malattie incurabili, resa possibile dalla stessa medicina che consente un prolungamento della vita straordinario, ma anche artificiale o innaturale, è diversa da quella di qualsiasi altro soggetto che viene protetto dalle norme a tutela della vita. Nel rifiuto delle cure, riconosciuto a livello internazionale come diritto pieno anche quando il suo esercizio conduca a morire dopo pochi minuti, è contenuto già il riconoscimento del diritto di morire. Nel caso Englaro (come in quelli Cruzan, Schiavo, Bland e Lambert) quel diritto è stato addirittura riconosciuto attraverso un terzo, per realizzare un omicidio doloso e non “del consenziente”. La costruzione di diritti infelici come diritti fondamentali del malato non può essere lasciata al solo diritto giurisprudenziale, anche se grazie a esso sono nati come diritti che già ora limitano le incriminazioni (aiuto al suicidio, omicidio del consenziente, omicidio). La comparazione con gli ordinamenti tedesco, svizzero, olandese, belga, offre un ventaglio di esperienze diverse orientate alla compassione e non all’indifferenza rispetto all’autonomia e alle sofferenze di malati che non sono suscettibili o desiderosi di sole cure palliative. Essa aiuta anche a comprendere la relatività della distinzione tra agire e omettere e tra condotta di autore e di partecipe in queste situazioni scriminate di aiuto a morire e non solo nel morire.

  • Challenges & Lessons from the Terri Schiavo Case
    Article Challenges & Lessons from the Terri Schiavo Case Challenges & Lessons from the Terri Schiavo Case Hessel Bouma III In 1990, Terri Schiavo suffered severe brain injury yet lived fifteen years in a vegetative state dependent upon artificial hydration and nutrition. For more than seven years, Terri’s husband and her family contested her condition, prognosis, and whether to withhold or continue her medical care through the court system, media, communities of faith, and the legislative and executive branches of the state and federal governments. An examination of medical, moral, religious, and legal aspects of withholding or withdrawing artificial hydration and nutrition suggests the judiciary branch acted responsibly in this tragic case. The Schiavo case challenges us to support more research into severe brain injuries, to prepare our Advance Directives appointing surrogate decision-makers and leaving clear and convincing evidence of our wishes should we be incapacitated, to affirm the lives and choices of persons with disabilities, and to 1 Hessel Bouma III address issues of fairness and justice in the allocations of medical technologies. he 1960s and 1970s saw a rapid rise in far out in front of carefully considered bio- Tbiomedical technologies including ethical responses, public policy, and legal Under what cardiopulmonary resuscitation, cardiac decisions.

  • An Option in Modern Health Care Decision Making
    Copyright © 2013 Ave Maria Law Review “THEY WANT ME DEAD”—ACTIVE KILLING— AN OPTION IN MODERN HEALTH CARE DECISION MAKING Rebekah C. Millard, Life Legal Defense Foundation INTRODUCTION “Thousands of medical ethicists and bioethicists, as they are called, professionally guide the unthinkable on its passage through the debatable on its way to becoming the justifiable until it is finally established as the unexceptional.”1 According to the published statements of British medical practitioners in June of 2012, more than 100,000 patients each year are put on a “death pathway” protocol by their doctors, thereby hastening their deaths.2 The death pathway is invoked for a variety of reasons, including the difficulty of the treatment involved, or to free up additional beds in overcrowded health care facilities. The protocol can include withdrawal of treatment—including water and nourishment—and usually results in death within thirty-three hours. Observers were not slow to equate the use of this protocol to euthanasia, which although legal in some jurisdictions,3 remains 4 illegal in the United Kingdom. J.D.

  • The Ethical Dilemma of Physician-Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia
    The Ethical Dilemma of Physician-Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia Student Name Course name August 9, 20XX While healthcare reform is often a heavily debated topic by politicians, healthcare providers, and the general public, there is perhaps no greater debate in healthcare than physician- assisted suicide or euthanasia. Modern advancements in medicine and technology, as well as policy changes in several states, have progressed treatment options available to patients considering euthanasia. Pappas (1996), commented that, “Breakthroughs of the past century have empowered doctors to battle acute infection successfully, thus transforming the hospital, from functioning essentially as a hospice, to an institution which provides medical, surgical and curative treatment for the sick and injured,” (p. 387). One may think that the advances of modern medicine have extended to include ethical issues regarding a patient’s right-to-die. Yet, while euthanasia is overwhelmingly considered humane in case of animals, the same cannot be said regarding human patients. In fact, even though humans possess the capacity to reason, thereby making hard choices and decisions regarding end-of-life care, it is still more acceptable to allow animals to die with dignity over people. Death is certain for everyone. That is why ethical issues surrounding a patient’s right-to- die affects everyone from currently healthy individuals to those who are braving terminal illness. Ethical arguments in favor of euthanasia began appearing in medical journals in the United Kingdom and the United States as early as the 1870s. The legal history of euthanasia dates back at least a century in the United States, with Ohio proposing the first bill to legalize euthanasia in 1906.

  • Thursday Lecture Features Lessons Learned from Terri Schiavo's Death
    Thursday lecture features lessons learned from Terri Schiavo's death Candace McKibben, Special to the Democrat Published 1:16 p.m. ET Nov. 6, 2017 For a year now, a group of committed citizens has met monthly to discuss ways to encourage advance health care planning in our community. We heard an excellent community presentation, “It’s Okay to Die,” by Dr. Monica Williams-Murphy, an ER physician from Huntsville, Alabama, in September 2016. As a follow-up, 14 people from various agencies in our community agreed to meet and discuss next steps. Facilitated by Big Bend Hospice, this creative task force has produced some awareness materials, held several events to encourage advance care planning, and considered ways to encourage this planning among the younger adult population in Tallahassee. (Photo: Candace McKibben) Our work is culminating in bringing Dr. Jay Wolfson, court-appointed Guardian Ad-Litem for Terri Schiavo, to Tallahassee on Thursday, to share some of what he learned from his involvement in this case. I am not sure when I first became aware of Schiavo, but she was on the public radar long before her well-publicized death in March 2005. As a young woman, Terri suffered a cardiac arrest in February 1990 resulting in severe lack of oxygen and brain damage. Physicians determined that she was in a persistent vegetative state and only her brain stem remained functional. In the beginning, her husband Michael and her parents, Mary and Bob Schlinder, cared for her together. After four years, the physicians told them that there was nothing more they could do for Terri.

  • Karen Quinlan, Nancy Cruzan, and Terri Schiavo
    CHAPTER 2 Comas Karen Quinlan, Nancy Cruzan, and Terri Schiavo The famous case of Terri Schiavo exploded across the world in 2005, but it had a pedigree, building on the previous cases of Nancy Cruzan and Karen Quinlan. The Quinlan case started in 1975 in New Jersey courts. Fifteen years later in 1990, the U.S. Supreme Court finally defined basic rights of dying patients. Fifteen years after that, the Schiavo case showed that problems still remained about treatment of incompetent patients at the end of life. The Quinlan case sparked the public's interest in medical ethics and its many questions: Does a person die when only machines keep her body alive? Can fam­ ilies alone decide when medicine ceases to be treatment and becomes torture? Can physicians? Does killing patients differ from intentionally letting them die? In making decisions, what role should courts take? What should be the standard of brain death? The definition of personhood? How should we safeguard incompe­ tent patients from overzealous families? When, if ever, should we force families to accept medical realities? THE QUINLAN CASE In April 1975, after just turning 21, a perky, independent young woman named Karen Quinlan became comatose from drinking alcohol after taking either barbi­ turates or benzodiazepines, or both.1 Karen had also been dieting, and at admis­ sion, weighed only 115 pounds. Benzodiazepines, antianxiety drugs such as Valium, Librium, Ativan, and Xanax, act on specific nerve receptors in the brain and are considered safer than barbiturates. The latter have been around since 1912, when physicians first used phenobarbital.

  • The Role of a Physician in End-Of-Life Stages of Their Patients,” by David Anson
    “The Role of a Physician in End-of-Life Stages of Their Patients,” by David Anson Instructor’s Note It can be risky to select a hot button topic such as capital punishment, gun control, or abortion because one cannot generally join such a wide and vast written conversation with any kind of authority in such a limited number of pages as a typical essay. Yet in this persuasive essay, David Anson is able to tackle the vast topic of euthanasia because he narrows it and focuses only on the physician’s role. What do you think about David’s choice to begin his essay with a hypothetical story? What do you think works well in his conclusion? How could his conclusion be improved upon? Writer’s Biography David Anson is a freshman Biology major from southern Illinois. His love for learning and writing was instilled by his parents. Outside of his studies, David enjoys sports, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family. The Role of a Physician in End-of-Life Stages of Their Patients Imagine sitting in a hospital room with your 79- year-old father. Your father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease about 3 years ago, and the condition has advanced to the point that he no longer recognizes you. He has recently stopped eating, so the nursing staff inserts a feeding tube. Unfortunately, your father vigorously pulls on the tube, causing it to become dislodged. Nurses are forced to physically restrain him, and he consequently moans and thrashes against the restraints. Aware that your father’s quality of life has diminished rapidly, you know that he is suffering in his current state.

  • Death with Dignity a Community Service Research Project Designed by Rutgers Jrs
    Death with Dignity A community service research project designed by Rutgers Jrs. and Srs. to gain perspective on Euthanasia opinions at Rutgers University. Tag words: Euthanasia, Right to die, Physician assisted suicide, Terminally ill Authors: Cynthia Bengel, Olga Ivey, Arthur Omondi with Julie M. Fagan, Ph.D. Summary The group has been looking at the issue of euthanasia and whether it should be legalized in the state of NJ. Research was done on the history of euthanasia and on current global legislation. The service project was centered on doing a survey of the Rutgers University students to determine their views on the subject. A total of 273 students participated in the survey. 53.9% of respondents disagreed with the statement that euthanasia is always morally wrong. 49.8 % of the respondents disagreed with the statement that euthanasia should be illegal at least under all circumstances. 69.2 % of respondents agreed that the principal moral consideration about euthanasia is the question of whether the person freely chooses to die or not. Finally, 48.4 % of the respondents disagreed that actively killing someone is always morally worse than just letting them die. The results of this survey indicate that the student body is evenly divided between pro and anti euthanasia with a significant number being neutral on the subject. The Issue: Euthanasia The History of Euthanasia Euthanasia is a term derived from the Greek words Eu meaning “good” or “easy” and Thanatos meaning “death”. This term was used by Suetonius, a historian of the Roman Empire in the 2nd century AD. Euthanasia is also known as Mercy Killing or Assisted Suicide depending upon the circumstances.
