Disclaimer. While such interventions may require more investment in terms of manpower, infrastructure and budgetary allotment than PAS, this is not in itself a reason to reject them or consider them inferior especially in regions where there are social, cultural or religious factors which lead to disapproval of assisted dying. Given this, it is plausible that economic considerations may lead to the incentivization of PAS for patients with dementia, regardless of the best interests of the patient or their caregivers (Finucane, 1999; Sachs et al., 2004). There is a long-standing condemnation of most or all forms of assisted dying in several global religious traditions, including Orthodox Judaism (Bradley, 2009), Christianity (Baeke et al., 2011), and Islam (Madadin et al., 2020). Advocates of PAS in dementia could credibly respond to the three preceding sections by suggesting that the practice should be confined to patients with severe or terminal dementia, where the patients life expectancy is already low and there is little or no scope for improvement (Mondragn et al., 2020). Toward the Clarification of Ideas: Medical Futility, Persistent/obstinate Therapy and Extra/ordinary Means. Given that one of the major reasons cited for choosing or desiring PAS is to preserve ones autonomy in the face of impending suffering or death, this association is also understandable.

PLoS One 15, e0239423. Advocacy for this position is often based on utilitarian philosophical principles, on appeals to the quality of life of the patient and their caregiver(s), or on economic constraints faced by caregivers as well as healthcare systems.

It is the purpose of this article to add to this debate surrounding this topic in two ways: first, by highlighting certain inherent paradoxes in global attitudes towards assisted dying, and second, by identifying the key areas of concern regarding the implementation of such policies, from the perspectives of caregivers, healthcare professionals and wider social structures, in the specific case of dementia. Would you want them if you were going through an advanced progressive illness? Requests for PAS in patients with dementia have been gradually increasing in countries where assisted dying is legal: a recent survey of Dutch general practitioners found that nearly 42% had received such requests from patients or relatives (Schuurmans et al., 2021). Finally, a stepwise multivariate linear regression analysis was carried out to identify which variables were significantly associated with attitudes towards euthanasia overall. Psychiatry 32, 461464.

Current medical guidelines would not allow advance directives for physician assisted death. Med. Using an advance directive when deciding to death assistance in the physicians with dementia diagnosis process has been particularly those of life choices in? Making advance directives is not only a gift to loved ones, its a gift to the person with Alzheimers. 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). When there is no AD and family and professionals are assessing the competence of a person with Alzheimers, the Alzheimers Association urges the least restrictive alternativesin other words, choose to protect the persons right to make his/her own decisions whenever possible. (2010). This model posits that White women are especially likely to both advocate for and opt for PAS, and that this arises from a unique combination of privilege and disadvantage. Advance Directives, Dementia, and Physician-Assisted Death Paul T. Menzel, Bonnie Steinbock First published: 26 June 2013 Instead, the medical field should work in collaboration with governmental, social welfare and patient advocacy services to ensure optimal physical, emotional and financial support to this group of patients and their caregivers. General agreements about what he would want help avoid family rifts when a difficult decisionlike resuscitation or feeding tubesmust be decided. After Providing End of Life Care to Relatives, what Care Options Do Family Caregivers Prefer for Themselves? First, as noted above, responses given by study subjects in surveys are crucially influenced by methodological issues, such as the manner in which a question is framed; thus, some of the lack of uniformity in results may reflect the influence of these factors. In some countries, the term medical assistance in dying is used as a synonym for assisted dying. Thus, both euthanasia and PAS require the intervention of a physician, with the only difference between the two practices being the person who administers the drugs in question. (2020). Would we rather lose our life than lose our self? Would you like email updates of new search results? 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 undue emphasis on PAS would tend to have a chilling effect on such lines of research and reduce funding for them, potentially depriving patients of effective alternatives or even of adequate palliative care (Hendin et al., 2021). Due to situations like COVID-19, not everyone can meet with a notary or witness in person. Sci. Prof. Psychol. Fourth, reducing an individuals worth or reason for living to their cognitive capacity is an example of utilitarian thought (Hilliard, 2011), and could lead to the extension of this practice to those with severe mental disability of any sort, as well as to the advocacy of non-voluntary euthanasia on utilitarian or economic principles (Sharp, 2012).

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).
