Persons with dementia often prefer to participate in decisions about their health care, but may be prevented from doing so because healthcare decision-making law facilitates use of advance directives or surrogate decision makers for persons with decisional impairments such as dementia. Some of these symptoms may be associated with particular causes or subtypes of dementia: for example, depression and apathy are common in vascular dementia (Tiel et al., 2015) while hallucinations are common in dementia with Lewy bodies (Borroni et al., 2008). and transmitted securely.

Front. %PDF-1.7 % We focus on a recent controversial case in which a Dutch woman with Alzheimers disease was euthanised based on her AED. Considering that one of the arguments advanced in favour of PAS is the economic burden faced by caregivers as well as society at large, this finding is unexpected, and suggests that economic hardship or deprivation alone may not significantly influence positive attitudes towards PAS. WebSection 2 (2) of the law allows EAS based on an advance directive, and the euthanasia review committees Code of Practice explains how: a patient aged 16 or over who is decisionally competent in the matter may draw up an advance directive setting out a request for euthanasia. It can be argued, on the basis of these factors, that it would be ethically imprudent to advocate for a procedure that can be misused or inappropriately applied. 5 0 obj 33, 13941399.
