A Patient's Last Chapter: Ethical Considerations for VSED, Euthanasia, and MAID
Speaker: Joel Wu, JD, MPH, MA, HEC-C
Currently, there is significant controversy regarding whether and how patients may work with clinicians to influence the time and manner of their death at the end of life. This session will describe treatment options that might allow patients to hasten death at the end of life, including patient refusals of life sustaining treatment, voluntary stopping of eating and drinking, medical aid in dying, and euthanasia.
Learning Objectives: After this webinar, attendees will be able to:
-Define and distinguish between treatment options for potentially hastening death at the end of life.
-Describe the interests of patients in being able to make choices about the time and manner of their deaths at the end of life.
-Describe ethical principles and commitments that justify or limit clinician involvement in interventions that might hasten death.
Unpacking Bedside Bioethics is a quarterly professional development seminar series delivered by the Center for Bioethics. Speakers discuss foundational bioethics concepts, identify ethical dilemmas in clinical cases, & explain how to apply bioethical frameworks to resolve those dilemmas. This interprofessional series is designed for professionals who work in health related fields and health professions students. This is an event of the Office of Academic Clinical Affairs (OACA), hosted by the Center for Bioethics.
Certificate of Attendance will not be given for watching the recording - only for those attending the Zoom session.
