"The paper will be focusing on euthanasia and hospice care. As a human, we’ll all inevitably die someday. As a result, we should know clearly about the choices we might face while struggling between life and death in the future. Also, these two issues have been discussed widely both in medicine and society. As medical students, we should all make a further discussion in this respect.Starting with euthanasia, we will talk about its loopholes, including the definition of autonomy and the slippery slope effect in the society. Next, continuing on the moral issues with euthanasia, we’ll give a deep explanation on why we believe that active voluntary euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide will undermine the doctor-patient relationship, leading to destruction of trust and confidence built in such a relationship.Moving on to hospice care, we’ll focus on its origination and definition. We’ll also make a comparison between The Hospice Palliative Care Regulation Amendment and the Patient Right to Autonomy Act, which differ in many aspects, including the variety of patients applicable, the scope of application and the conditions of signing the treaties. In order to know more about clinical situations, we also searched for doctors’perspective on hospice care.After talking about euthanasia and hospice care respectively, we’ll then put them together and discuss the differences between them , and take a deeper look into Taiwan’s situation nowadays and the governmental goals of promoting home-base hospice care instead of traditional hospice care in wards. Finally, we’ll make a conclusion by emphasizing our point of view－“To die with dignity is not to choose euthanasia but to choose palliative care.”This excerpt matches to our standpoint which agrees that natural death without inappropriate external force is more suitable for patients to achieve a better quality of life in their last days." |
