In dementia, economically-driven systemic decisions appear to act as a barrier to the provision of other specific forms of care, such as nursing interventions (Karrer et al., 2020) and may lead to the excessive use of other forms of treatment, such as typical antipsychotics (Stakiaitis et al., 2019) and feeding tubes (Finucane et al., 2007), based on cost considerations rather than evidence.

It has also been noted that, in some cases, those belonging to a higher socio-economic stratum may also be overrepresented among those opting for PAS, again suggesting that simple linear arguments based on caregiver costs do not tell the entire story (Krag, 2014). On the Authority of Advance Euthanasia Directives for People with Severe Dementia: Reflections on a Dutch Case. L. 60, 278286. This could lead to consent or approval being given under duress, and thus being of limited validity. They are then dependent upon caregivers, family, surrogates and physicians to make their healthcare decisions. It is of course possible that Krags argument would be more applicable to developed and industrialized nations, while concerns related to misuse of PAS in vulnerable groups may be more applicable in lower-income nations with greater economic inequality and resource scarcity.

Other strategies that have empirical or theoretical support, but have not yet been evaluated in controlled trials, include better physical and mental health services for caregivers (von Knel et al., 2019), and the assessment and provision of social, financial and legal support tailored to individual needs (Zwingmann et al., 2019). The Expert Working Group on the issue of mental health as a sole underlying condition disagreed on a number of issues. Patients with health care proxies who have an understanding of the prognosis and clinical course are likely to receive less aggressive care near the end of life, and these complications are associated with high 6-month mortality rates.

Disclaimer. endobj It can take the place of two individual documents: the living will and the durable power of attorney for healthcare (also referred to as healthcare power of attorney, healthcare proxy, and appointment of a healthcare agent). Though this argument may be more ethically sound than the previous one, as it involves informed consent from patients themselves, it still entails certain difficulties. Responses to the dementia scenario were ambivalent, with only 48% of the sample (40 of 83 subjects) expressing a clear preference for PAS (Cohen-Mansfield and Brill, 2020). (2019). Conceptual Framework for Assisted Dying for Individuals with Dementia: Views of Experts Not Opposed in Principle. Fill it out now, share it with your loved ones, then give a copy of it to your doctor. 58, 3445. Philos. Certain aspects of culture also appeared to be strongly associated with attitudes towards euthanasia. If this is the case, one would expect the plot of social capital against approval of euthanasia to take on a U-shape, with higher levels of social capital in societies with more uniform attitudes (either positive or negative) towards euthanasia, and lower scores in societies where attitudes are less uniform. (2019). In discussing such scenarios, an important distinction needs to be made between passive acts (refusal or denial of care) and active assistance on the part of the physician, such as provision or administration of a lethal drug, as would occur in PAS (Allen, 2020). An additional argument based on caution comes from concerns about the failure of safeguards (Pereira, 2011). This danger may be especially acute in low- and middle-income countries, where rapid increases in the elderly population and the absence of a social welfare safety net may further contribute to such incentivization (Dominguez et al., 2021).

An ideal person for the job is someone who: Once you have identified your healthcare agent or proxy, talk to them about the care you do or do not want at the end of your life. Fifth, there are certain dangers in relying on an advance directive in such cases, because an individuals wishes may vary over time: a patient with early dementia might express a wish for PAS due to psychosocial factors (such as depression or economic hardship) at one point in time, but express a different attitude if such problems are ameliorated (Dcruz, 2021).

Though such findings currently apply to only a small number of high-income countries, there is a strong possibility that such practices may be considered in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in those where improved healthcare has led to increases in life expectancy and in the number of elderly adults diagnosed with dementia (Mukhopadhyay and Banerjee, 2021). If the presence of these symptoms in dementia is considered a sufficient indication for PAS, this opens the door to the approval of PAS in patients with any severe or resistant mental illness or behavioural disorder; this has already occurred in some countries where PAS has been legalized (Dierickx et al., 2017; Verhofstadt et al., 2021).
