Abstract

Opponents of legalised assisted dying often assert that palliative care is worse in countries where assisted dying has been legalised, and imply that legalised assisted dying makes palliative care worse. This study considers five versions of this claim: that it is difficulty to access expert palliative care in countries where assisted dying has been legalised, that those countries rank low in their quality of end-of-life care; that legalising assisted dying doesn't expand patient choice in respect of palliative care; that growth in palliative care services has stalled in countries where assisted dying has been legalised; and that legalised assisted dying impedes the growth of palliative care or causes it to decline. In each case, it concludes that neither argumentation nor evidence supports these claims.

基于姑息治疗的反对协助死亡的论点。
协助死亡合法化的反对者经常断言,在协助死亡合法化的国家,姑息关怀更加糟糕,并暗示协助死亡合法化使姑息关怀更加糟糕。本研究对这一说法的五种版本进行了探讨:在协助死亡合法化的国家很难获得专家的姑息关怀,这些国家的临终关怀质量排名靠后;协助死亡合法化并没有扩大病人在姑息关怀方面的选择;在协助死亡合法化的国家,姑息关怀服务的发展停滞不前;协助死亡合法化阻碍了姑息关怀的发展或导致其衰退。在每一种情况下,本报告的结论都是,无论是论证还是证据都不支持这些说法。

期刊介绍: As medical technology continues to develop, the subject of bioethics has an ever increasing practical relevance for all those working in philosophy, medicine, law, sociology, public policy, education and related fields. Bioethics provides a forum for well-argued articles on the ethical questions raised by current issues such as: international collaborative clinical research in developing countries; public health; infectious disease; AIDS; managed care; genomics and stem cell research. These questions are considered in relation to concrete ethical, legal and policy problems, or in terms of the fundamental concepts, principles and theories used in discussions of such problems. Bioethics also features regular Background Briefings on important current debates in the field. These feature articles provide excellent material for bioethics scholars, teachers and students alike.
