In justifying the sample penalty, van den Haag does really limit following to teleological reasoning; he uses moral arguments as well.

Even though Kant comes right lot and says he is in favor toward the specific penalty, without regard that his ethical theories the porch is more blurred. Therefore, retribution is not positively correlated with deterrence. This is morally wrong. The point is please, in killing the combat that or am, I just set that individual life guard a price. This stands apart from punishing for the greater good, and punishing because no person has maybe something deserving of punishment.

  • Phenomenological Exploration of Death Doulas in Saskatchewan
    PHENOMENOLOGICAL EXPLORATION OF DEATH DOULAS IN SASKATCHEWAN A Research Practicum Report Submitted to the Faculty of Social Work In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Social Work University of Regina By Carla Mitchell Regina, Saskatchewan July 2019 Copyright 2019: C.M. Mitchell All Rights Reserved DEATH DOULAS IN SASKATCHEWAN i Abstract The purpose of this research project was to explore and understand the emerging role, education, skills and services of death doulas in Saskatchewan. A review of the literature was conducted about community-based death care and the emergence of death doulas. A phenomenological research approach was used to interview 8 Saskatchewan death doulas. Commonalities were discussed as emergent themes in the data analysis process. As described by the participants, a death doula is a continuous presence at the end of life, offering non-medical support to empower, educate, advocate and build community around a dying person and their family. The participants also detailed the skills, education, and services provided by death doulas. Systems Theory was used to guide the discussion about the end of life care system in Canada and implications for social work practice. DEATH DOULAS IN SASKATCHEWAN ii Acknowledgements First I would like to acknowledge and thank the death doulas who participated in this study. I felt very welcomed into this community of people who are engaged in spreading the message that individuals and families can take on a more participatory role in the dying and deaths of their loved ones. I am indebted to you for your willingness to share your stories, knowledge and experiences.

    ©Copyright 2018 Cassandra Sutherland A ‘Good’ Death with Dementia: An Autoethnographic Exploration of Voluntary Stopping Eating and Drinking (VSED) Cassandra Sutherland A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Public Health University of Washington 2018 Committee: Stephen Bezruchka Helene Starks Program Authorized of Offer Degree: School of Public Health University of Washington Abstract A ‘Good’ Death with Dementia: An Autoethnographic Exploration of Voluntary Stopping Eating and Drinking (VSED) Cassandra Sutherland Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Stephen Bezruchka Department of Health Services Voluntary stopping eating and drinking (VSED) has become increasingly recognized as a legal, appropriate, and ethical way to hasten death at the end-of-life. It is one of few options available for people with dementia to hasten their death. My Dad wanted to use VSED after he was diagnosed with dementia; because there is little information about how and when VSED is being used as an end-of- life option for people with dementia, our family was mostly on our own to identify resources to help him realize this choice. The purpose of this thesis is to address this gap using a mix of autoethnography and in-depth interviews with VSED experts in Washington State and the Netherlands, using a narrative format that contextualizes personal experiences into larger social conversations. I explore the question of what is a ‘good’ death and what options an individual with dementia has to hasten his/her death with VSED. My analysis looks at how to prepare for VSED; how to know when to begin; the process itself; the role of the caregiver; and a cross-cultural look for other options.

Canada Science must be the guiding factor when diagnosing brain death ONTARIO | CBC News (Toronto) – 16 November 2017 – Ontario courts have ordered artificial breathing machines remain attached to Taquisha McKitty and Shalom Ouanounou after their famili es launched le- gal challenges in order to prolong treatment. Both families have claimed that their loved ones are not dead by their respective religions’ definitions of death. Teams of doctors in each case, however, have established irreversible death of th e brain, which means that medically speaking, McKitty and Ouanounou are gone. The courts are nevertheless being asked to reaffirm decades of science, medicine and ethics, while also weighing the value of religious belief. But medical expertise must be the guiding principle here: brain death is certain death. Traditionally, death was diagnosed by doctors when the heart ceased to beat.

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth (2019) 19:518 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12884-019-2673-0 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Reducing intrapartum fetal deaths through low-dose high frequency clinical mentorship in a rural hospital in Western Kenya: a quasi-experimental study Duncan N. Shikuku1* , Rita Mukosa1, Taphroze Peru2, Alice Yaite2, Janerose Ambuchi2 and Kenneth Sisimwo1 Abstract Background: Intrapartum fetal mortality can be prevented by quality emergency obstetrics and newborn care (EmONC) during pregnancy and childbirth. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a low-dose high-frequency onsite clinical mentorship in EmONC on the overall reduction in intrapartum fetal deaths in a busy hospital providing midwife-led maternity services in rural Kenya. Methods: A quasi-experimental (nonequivalent control group pretest – posttest) design in a midwife-led maternity care hospitals. Clinical mentorship and structured supportive supervision on EmONC signal functions was conducted during intervention. Maternity data at two similar time points: Oct 2015 to July 2016 (pre) and August 2016 to May 2017 (post) reviewed. Indicators of interest at Kirkpatrick’s levels 3 and 4 focusing on change in practice and health outcomes between the two time periods were evaluated and compared through a two-sample test of proportions. Proportions and p-values were reported to test the strength of the evidence after the intervention. Results: Spontaneous vaginal delivery was the commonest route of delivery between the two periods in both hospitals. At the intervention hospital, assisted vaginal deliveries (vacuum extractions) increased 13 times (0.2 to 2.5%, P < 0.0001), proportion of babies born with low APGAR scores requiring newborn resuscitation doubled (1.7 to 3.7%, P = 0.0021), proportion of fresh stillbirths decreased 5 times (0.5 to 0.1%, P = 0.0491) and referred cases for comprehensive emergency obstetric care doubled (3.0 to 6.5%, P < 0.0001) with no changes observed in the control hospital.

  • HOSPICE NEWS NETWORK Recent News on End-Of-Life Care
    __________________________________________ HOSPICE NEWS NETWORK Recent News on End-of-Life Care Volume 22, Number 21 May 29, 2018 A Service of Hospice & Palliative Care Association of NYS DEATH CAFES, ANGELS, AND CHOICES AT THE END OF LIFE Anita Neff is an end-of-life doula or, as she says, “a death angel.” Her role is to sit with the dying and their families during the dying process, but she also deals with practical matters like an up-to-date will or passwords for online accounts. Her efforts are profiled in “Going this way? Death is still inevitable, but 'angels' and cafes want to change our last days” published with The San Diego Union-Tribune. Writer Peter Rowe describes the personal touches Neff provides for the dying—from poetry readings to live music and even “the soothing aroma of fresh wood shavings.” “Everybody has their own thing,” she says. Neff is part of a loosely-linked movement that questions the dying process and what really defines a “good death.” Its practitioners come from a wide range of beliefs, or ascribe to none at all. “These activists are united by a common desire to make dying less painful and more dignified,” Rowe writes. Rowe spoke with Pacific Beach Christian Church’s senior pastor Rev. Brian Daly, who says, “Hospice used to be one of those words that had a stigma attached to it. That has changed completely.” Still, within the world of peaceful transitions, some topics are controversial. Dr. Robert Uslander has advocated for the End of Life Options Act, a California law permitting terminally ill patients with capacity to make medical decisions to be prescribed an aid-in-dying medication.

  • Diamanda Galás' Plague Mass As a Work of Death Midwifery Abigail
    Rienzo i Liminal Women : Diamanda Galás’ Plague Mass as a work of Death Midwifery Abigail Rienzo Advisor: Stephan Pennington Committee: Joseph Auner, Peggy Hutaff THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS MASTER OF ARTS PROGRAM IN MUSIC TUFTS UNIVERSITY MAY 2017 Rienzo ii ABSTRACT The United States AIDS crisis of the 1980s and 1990s was a complex space for activism due to its dual nature as a politicized social justice movement and a bona fide public health crisis. To be effective, activist work needed to address the political discrimination that led to the disease’s spread, while also acknowledging the ubiquitous nature of the illness. Composer and performer Diamanda Galás, known for her involvement in the AIDS activist movement, successfully carries out this work by creating a musical persona that resists definition and continually occupies liminal spaces of being. Her 1990 protest piece Plague Mass performs effectively as an activist work because of the ways in which it embraces the liminal. This thesis analyzes the indefinable, in-between aspects of Plague Mass through a gendered lens; in particular, it traces Galás’s legacy back through historical moments in which women, through their association with the liminal, have been tasked with caring for the dead and dying. Rienzo iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project would not have been remotely possible without the assistance of Associate Professor of Music Stephan Pennington. His dedication of time, consideration, and wisdom to this project has been immeasurable and indescribably beneficial. I cannot thank him enough for his mentorship throughout this process, and indeed, throughout the duration of my time at Tufts.

The setting is a Higher Education Institute in the South of England. Final year midwifery students (n=39) and children’s nursing students (n=34). Qualitative and quantitative data indicated that the Inter Professional Education intervention had proven worth in developing knowledge and confidence in final year children’s nursing students ands and midwifery students relating to perinatal and neonatal palliative care. Both student groupings felt they lacked knowledge and confidence about perinatal palliative care before attending the study day. Students felt that learning with, from and about the other profession represented was important in generating their knowledge. Educators should explore innovative ways to enable the further development of the fledgling speciality of perinatal/neonatal palliative care through education on an interprofessional platform 1 1. Introduction In the United Kingdom (UK), death in infancy is relatively rare. With strategy embedded in health policy, the commitment to improving care provision for children with palliative care needs and their families has been a high priority over recent years (Craft and Killen, 2007; Department of Health [DH], 2008; Department of Health and Children [DoHC], 2009, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence [NICE], 2016,) with significant improvements noted.
