WebPhysician-assisted suicide (PAS), which is currently the subject of intense and controversial discussion in medical ethics, is barely discussed in psychiatry, albeit there are already dementia patients in Germany and other European countries who end their own lives with the assistance of physicians. J. BZ)kwGVTbXeQWM`Q;nN$N Along with terminal illness, defined as prognosis of death within six months, contemporary competence is regarded as an important. Bookshelf Basing decisions regarding PAS on the least expensive or most cost-effective option subordinates the rights of both patients and caregivers to economic factors (Bilchik, 1996; Meier, 1997; Gerk, 2017) and opens the door to various forms of abuse (Kipke, 2015).

Elaborating on these points in a further review (Sulmasy et al., 2018), the same author draws on the same argument, and further adduces arguments that have been discussed earlier in this paper, such as the limits of autonomy, the distinction between active killing and passive denial of particular treatments, the social ramifications of suicide and assisted suicide, and the possibility of a slippery slope characterized by incremental extension. Based on these, he concludes that the medical profession should continue its opposition to PAS on both prudential and ethical grounds. We argue that in many cases they should be, and that a sliding scale which considers both autonomy and the capacity for enjoyment provides the best justification for determining when: when written by a previously well-informed and competent person, such a directive gains in authority as the later person's capacities to generate new critical interests and to enjoy life decrease.

In this, the potential dangers associated with the practice of PAS in the specific case of dementia will be examined from three perspectives: those of the patients themselves, their caregivers, and the healthcare professionals involved in PAS. The Expert Working Group on the issue of mental health as a sole underlying condition disagreed on a number of issues. This was observed in a study of the general public in the United States, where over 54% of respondents expressed approval of PAS for dementia initially, but only 2140% continued to express approval when provided with specific scenarios (Mangino et al., 2021). doi:10.1089/jpm.2008.0162, Bravo, G., Rodrigue, C., Arcand, M., Downie, J., Dubois, M.

The aim is to increase the light, and perhaps as well to reduce the heat, on this important subject by formulating and evaluating the central ethical arguments for and against voluntary active euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide. Soc. (2003). AEDs are rarely adhered to because the dementia symptoms conflict with the due care criteria; a person requesting euthanasia must be able to confirm the request at time of death and must be undergoing hopeless suffering. Health 25, 420430.

Four of these were raised in a recent review (Cohen-Almagor, 2016). This could lead to the further stigmatization of patients with this disorder, and to an undue emphasis on euthanasia or PAS as the solution for those suffering from this illness. Likewise, a more recent study presented Israeli caregivers who had provided end-of-life care to a relative with two end-of-life scenarios, one related to advanced dementia and one to physical disability.

First, advocacy for PAS by healthcare professionals involved in dementia care could be seen as violating the principle of beneficience, which is one of the pillars of medical ethics. 58, 3445. It is argued that the doubts about advance directives and euthanasia raise more concern about the combined practices than about either euthanasia or advance directives separately. Identifying Unmet Needs of Family Dementia Caregivers: Results of the Baseline Assessment of a Cluster-Randomized Controlled Intervention Trial. Basic research is beginning to elucidate the molecular mechanisms associated with specific types of BPSD (Scassellati et al., 2020; Degawa et al., 2021; Kobayashi et al., 2021); novel therapeutic strategies are being developed and evaluated (Magierski et al., 2020); and in some cases, non-pharmacological strategies may also be safe and effective (Abraha et al., 2017; Wang et al., 2019).

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). In making these assessments, it is important to rely on logic, evidence, the principles of medical ethics, and the realities of diverse cultures and value systems outside the small number of countries which have endorsed this practice. doi:10.1093/jmp/jhu026, Largent, E.

PMC From an ethical perspective, this would represent a significant paradigm shift from existing standards of care in neuropsychiatry, where suicide is seen as something to be prevented rather than permitted under supervision (Serafini et al., 2016; D'Anci et al., 2019); this could also lead to a slippery slope phenomenon where PAS is seen as the simplest or most cost-effective intervention for any difficult-to-treat neuropsychiatric disorder, particularly in vulnerable populations. doi:10.2190/YH2B-8VVE-LA5A-02R2, Pereira, J. doi:10.7326/M19-0869, D'cruz, M.
