Is Physician-Assisted Death Possible for People with Dementia? An additional argument based on caution comes from concerns about the failure of safeguards (Pereira, 2011). Physician-assisted death could be made accessible by advance directive, as in the Netherlands and Belgium, but no legalization of active aid in dying in the United States or Canada permits its use by those who are not contemporaneously competent. doi:10.1016/j.jpainsymman.2021.01.009, Jakhar, J., Ambreen, S., and Prasad, S.

It is argued that, given the loss of autonomy that is entailed by cognitive decline, patients should have the right to choose PAS via advance directive prior to the onset of such decline.

Finally, a stepwise multivariate linear regression analysis was carried out to identify which variables were significantly associated with attitudes towards euthanasia overall. While the former is considered a form of PAS in several religious traditions and therefore unacceptable (Shannon and Walter, 2004; Rosner and Abramson, 2009; Alsolamy, 2014), the latter would be considered permissible, and could addressed through advance care planning (van Wijmen et al., 2015). Fifth, there are certain dangers in relying on an advance directive in such cases, because an individuals wishes may vary over time: a patient with early dementia might express a wish for PAS due to psychosocial factors (such as depression or economic hardship) at one point in time, but express a different attitude if such problems are ameliorated (Dcruz, 2021).

These are not independent of each other; for example, a survey of African-Americans found that several factors, including their cultural and spiritual values and their attitude towards the healthcare system, influenced their lower preference for euthanasia or PAS (Wicher and Meeker, 2012). Preferences of the General Public and People with an advance Directive. 2007 Apr;7(4):48-56. doi: 10.1080/15265160701220881. Despite these limitations, this analysis suggests that approval of euthanasia and, by extension, PAS may be strongest in societies characterized by a high income, higher social capital, low religiosity, higher cultural individualism, and lower cultural uncertainty avoidance.

On the one hand, White women are more likely than ethnic minority women to trust the healthcare system (Wicher and Meeker, 2012); on the other hand, they are exposed to disadvantages in terms of economic status, access to palliative care, and cultural ideas of femininity as self-sacrificing. These factors interact with aggressive messaging from physicians, experts and the media about the desirability and dignity associated with PAS. 165, 532. (2016).

The purpose of the foregoing analysis was to highlight the marked cross-national variation in attitudes towards PAS in general, and the sociocultural correlates of these variations. Limiting Life-Sustaining Treatment as a Matter of (Insurance) Policy.

A different but related argument was offered by Kipke (2015), who pointed out that, once one endorses PAS, there are no coherent ethical objections to the provision of assisted suicide outside the healthcare system, including the commercialization of this practice; in other words, permitting PAS in a medical setting could eventually lead to the implementation of this practice on a for-profit basis.

Though based on a relatively small number of countries, and not specifically addressing the specific case of dementia, they suggest that economic and cultural factors might play an important role in determining attitudes towards assisted dying, whether through the assistance or direct action of a physician. Given the drastic and final nature of PAS as a proposed solution for caregiver burden in dementia, it would be prudent to carefully assess such relationships first, and to consider alternate forms of assistance that do not entail the immediate death of the patient.
