Background Information: The following case centers around euthanasia. The word "euthanasia"draws its roots from Greek meaning "good death." As it is used in this discussion, it means "theact of ending the life of a person suffering from either a terminal illness, or an incurable disease.The AMA is against physicians assisting in euthanasia. There is currently a few states in the U.S.that allow for euthanasia under the 1997 "Death With Dignity Act." Euthanasia advocates stressthat it should be allowed as an extension of a person's autonomy. Those who are againsteuthanasia often say that it can lead to the devaluation of human life, and to a slippery slope inwhich the old and disabled will be killed on the whims of healthy people. The following caseexamines this law and ethics surrounding it.Case: A woman was diagnosed with motor neurone disease (the same disease that StephenHawking has) 5 years ago. This is a condition that destroys motor nerves, making control ofmovement impossible, while the mind is virtually unaffected. People with motor neurone diseasenormally die within 4 years of diagnosis from suffocation due to the inability of the inspiratorymuscles to contract. The woman's condition has steadily declined. She is not expected to livethrough the month, and is worried about the pain that she will face in her final hours. She asksher doctor to give her diamorphine for pain if she begins to suffocate or choke. This will lessenher pain, but it will also hasten her death. About a week later, she falls very ill, and is havingtrouble breathing.31 Please answer the following questions in 12-14 sentences (2 full paragraphs)Does she have a right to make this choice, especially in view of the fact that she will bedead in a short while (say six hours)? In other words, is this choice an extension of herautonomy?●●●Is the short amount of time she has to live ethically relevant? In other words, is there anethical difference between her dying in 6 hours and dying in a week? What about a year,and how do you draw this distinction?Is the right for a patient's self-determination powerful enough to create obligations on thepart of others to aid her so that she can exercise her rights? She clearly cannot kill herself.She can't move, but should someone be FORCED to help her, or to find someone to helpher?Should the money used to care for this woman be taken into account when she is beinghelped? In other words, do you think that legalizing euthanasia could create conflicts ofinterest for the patient/ or the doctor? Will people feel that they need to end their livesearlier to save money?If you were the physician, what would you do? *Note: if you would pass her off toanother doctor knowing he or she would do it, does this free you from you ethicalobligations?

Situation: On 17 July the nurse was at work and made comments to colleagues to the effect that she had helped the deceased to die, that she was proud of this, and that she believed in euthanasia, believed that it should be discussed, and more of it should occur. She referred to herself as the angel of death, and as Dr Kevorkian. When questioned about these statements by her employer, the respondent admitted that the morphine she had administered to the deceased was not a normal dose, because she was not going to let the deceased suffer, and said that she had acted in the best interests of the deceased. Following this, her employment was terminated on about 26 August 2014. Her registration as an enrolled nurse expired on 30 May 2015. At the hearing she said that she had not worked since, as a nurse or otherwise.
