Smith's Palliative Care and End-of-Life Decisions completes a Bioethics-Health Care epistemology begun in 1989, which addresses the specific issue of managing palliative care at the end-stage of life. Smith argues forcefully that in order to palliate the whole person (encompassing physical and psychological states), an ethic of adjusted care requires recognition of a fundamental right to avoid cruel and unusual suffering from terminal illness. Specifically, this book urges wider consideration and use of terminal sedation as efficacious medical care and as a reasonable procedure in order to safeguard a 'right' to a dignified death. The principle of medical futility is seen as a proper construct for implementing this process. The state legislative responses of California, Vermont, and Washington in enacting Death with Dignity legislation - allowing those with end-stage terminal illness to receive pharmacological assistance in ending their own lives - is held by Smith to be not only commendable, but the proper response for enlightened state action"--Publisher. 650 12 $a Hospice Care. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D017051 650 22 $a Medical Futility. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018447 650 22 $a Palliative Care. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D010166 650 22 $a Right to Die. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D012297 650 22 $a Terminally Ill. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D019452 650 0 $a Terminal care $x Law and legislation. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85134008 650 0 $a Terminally ill $x Legal status, laws, etc. 650 0 $a Hospice care. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85062231 650 0 $a Hospitals $x Law and legislation. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85062337 650 0 $a Palliative treatment $x Legal status, laws, etc. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214020744.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C3368F44E55411E7AFB0C42A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
