PDF-(READ)-Death Talk, Second Edition: The Case Against Euthanasia and Physician-Assisted

Death Talk asks why when our society has rejected euthanasia for over two thousand years are we now considering legalizing it Has euthanasia been promoted by deliberately confusing it with other ethically acceptable acts What is the relation between pain relief treatments that could shorten life and euthanasia How do journalistic values and media ethics affect the publics perception of euthanasia What impact would the legalization of euthanasia have on concepts of human rights human responsibilities and human ethics Can we imagine teaching young physicians how to put their patients to deathThere are vast ethical legal and social differences between natural death and euthanasia In Death Talk Margaret Somerville argues that legalizing euthanasia would cause irreparable harm to societys value of respect for human life which in secular societies is carried primarily by the institutions of law and medicineDeath has always been a central focus of the discussion that we engage in as individuals and as a society in searching for meaning in life Moreover we accommodate the inevitable reality of death into the living of our lives by discussing it that is through death talk Until the last twenty years this discussion occurred largely as part of the practice of organized religion Today in industrialized western societies the euthanasia debate provides a context for such discussion and is part of the search for a new societalcultural paradigm Seeking to balance the death talk articulated in the euthanasia debate with life talk Somerville identifies the very serious harms for individuals and society that would result from accepting euthanasiaA sense of the unfolding euthanasia debate is captured through the inclusion of Somervilles responses to or commentaries on several other authors contributions.

Ethan Thaut, PA-S2, The University Of South Dakota. Abstract. Since it’s infancy, physician-assisted death, a term that encompasses physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia, has been one of the most controversial topics within the healthcare industry. The ethical and legal statuses of these divisive topics continue to be debated between healthcare providers and laypeople. My research, in the form of a literature review, serves two purposes: to provide a general overview of physician-assisted death (PAD), and to review existing peer-reviewed literature concerning attitudes towards physician-assisted death. .
