In particular, treatment of comatose patients should not be withheld if there is any possibility of recovery, although it may be discontinued when it is found to be totally ineffective. En ocasiones puede suponer la dependencia absoluta de apoyo tecnológico". Only in a few terminal situations without human hope, the appearance of the doctor's gestures may be similar in both cases; but the doctor knows, without a doubt, what is in his intention: he knows whether what he is doing is intended to cause the death of the patient or whether, on the contrary, he is renouncing therapeutic incarceration. It also makes no difference whether the killer does it out of cruelty or compassion, for ideological reasons or for any other motivation: Killing someone else is always a crime, and the person who commits it is punished accordingly. -a un 20% de personas a las que el caso les parece moralmente complejo, y muestran que “no soy capaz de tener una opinión”. 3) ¿Tiene el médico algún deber de responder a esa petición? | Versión para móvil. 19.

El debate de la eutanasia pone al descubierto cuáles son deberes del Estado o políticos y cuáles son deberes personales. But the general rule can never say that what is wrong is right, no matter how much the perpetrator of the action thinks he is doing something good. He aquí la clave de la eutanasia, que, comenzando por ser la muerte dulce de Francisco Bacon, gran canciller de Inglaterra en el siglo XVII, pasó a ser la muerte por compasión en el siglo XIX y hoy se equipara a la muerte digna del hombre.

Doctors, philosophers, pharmacists, nurses, theologians, jurists, moralists, have written, rewritten, discussed and finally drafted this text on euthanasia during long months of work, aiming to achieve a final product faithful to the double goal of this collection of works: technical and scientific rigour in the treatment and clarity and simplicity in the exposition. But fundamental human rights, the first of which, it bears repeating, is the right to life, do not belong to the realm of statistics, the play of majorities, religious confessionality or social consensus, which is so characteristic of democratic societies in other matters. Given that all legal systems recognise - to one extent or another - the right of the next of kin to decide for the sick or incapable person who is unable to express his or her own wishes, the theoretical possibility of relatives deciding that euthanasia is appropriate introduces a feeling of insecurity, confrontation and fear into family relationships, totally alien to what the idea of family suggests: solidarity, love, generosity. It certainly is, because one of the primary duties of the state is to respect and ensure respect for the fundamental rights of the individual, the first of which is the right to life, and euthanasia is nothing more than the destruction of innocent human life under certain conditions. If this is so, how is it that some say that euthanasia should be legalised in order to avoid therapeutic incarceration?

The million copies sold of the "100 questions on abortion" and the news of its permanent use as an instrument of work and study in the most varied scholarly, academic and religious environments on various continents, have encouraged the intense effort of the Episcopal Committee for the Defence of Life, which has worked for more than a year in multiple plenary meetings and at discussion paper, to outline the text that is now being made public. 83.

Las personas pueden elegir no atravesar por procesos de enfermedad costosos y dolorosos. 33. So, are there any rights for the dying patient? It is the same with seat belts in cars: citizens may or may not want to wear them, but the state obliges them to do so by threatening them with a fine if they do not respect this obligation. This is true not only with regard to euthanasia, but in a thousand other areas: the worker who considers going on strike, the employer who sets wages and working conditions, the legislator or politician who makes decisions that affect millions of citizens, the seller who prices his or her products, the judge who passes judgement, the parent who is faced with a problem child, They have no all-encompassing list of cases at their disposal, but must rely on the moral principles that the Church teaches, and also on the various changing, sometimes fleeting, sometimes difficult to learn circumstances of the reality on which their decision will have an impact.

Los principales argumentos a favor de la eutanasia están relacionados con el derecho a una vida y a una muerte dignas, fundamentados en la autonomía del paciente, en su derecho de no sufrir y, en último término, a exigir la eutanasia como un acto piadoso o bien a disponer de su vida.

In recent times, euthanasia has not been legal in any country - with the exception of the Nazi experience - but we can easily foresee what would happen if we contrast the data provided by the legalisation of abortion in this century and the well-known "Dutch case", a social experience of admitting the practice of euthanasia that has recently received some legal coverage. And what are the needs of these terminally ill patients? a young patient in coma due to trauma in an accident), medicine considers that all possible technical means are provided, because there is a well-founded hope of saving his or her life.

If euthanasia is taken in this way, there are some people and groups in favour of legalising it and giving it social respectability, because they interpret that human life only deserves to be lived under certain conditions of fullness, in contrast to the majority conviction that human life is a superior good and an inalienable and unavailable right, i.e. -un un 47% aboga por un testamento vital obligatorio como posible solución.

But might not a certain social acceptance of euthanasia respond to a genuine feeling of compassion towards those who suffer and have no remedy? Pain - and its subjective aspect, suffering - is part of every human life and of human history: this is attested to by the personal experience of each one of us and by world literature, in which the experience of pain is not only a source of inspiration, but also an object of constant reflection.

Si, por el contrario, ponemos nuestra atención con carácter primordial en el sujeto agente, estaremos ante el homicidio con el consentimiento de la víctima (Ve Enrico Ferri: «L´omicidio-suicidio», Turín, 1892). That old aphorism encapsulates the whole philosophy of palliative care. -Dignidad para el dolor insoportable.
