Hi Ollie, really interesting video and great insights into the different arguements on both sides. I actually had this question at my med school interview recently, so it interesting to hear you take on it. I mentioned similar things, but in opposition to euthanasia and assisted dying- I also brought up the issue of patients' mental health and how that may affect their decision making aswell as the law and regulations surrounding it. Thanks for the great content :)
@@OllieBurtonMed @liam no one person can ever be fully autonomous due to life experiences and conditional bias to name one main factor. I personally wouldn't think the high emotionality argument in regards to euthanasia holds much weight as most medical procedures and nearly all medical dilemmas that bioethical debates surrounding are life-changing (e.g abortion, transgender issues, and body integrity disorder(BID) and would always include a degree of heightened emotionality or diminished mental health retrospective of the individual patient and their coping abilities.

What do you think of the term passive euthanasia? i feel it is confusing. if withdrawing life support is part of good palliative care, what would an example of passive euthanasia be?
I am now 67 years old man with good health in mentally and physically. I have already finished my almost duties to my family and society according to my best ability. Now I want to giveup my whole alive body for the needy patients of the society. If government allow me then I will declare my tentative date of my death. Then all the needful clinical tests will be done on me and the matched patients will be informed. On the tentative date I will go to the hospital. All the needy patients and the doctors will be there. Doctors unconscious me and transfer all my organs and blood to the needy patients. And I will go away painlessly and peacefully. And a lots of human can save their lives. That is all I want to say.
I'm 72 years old, and my wife is 70 years old. Unfortunately, we both have cancer and have decided to pursue euthanasia to end our suffering. We have chosen April 10, 2024, for this decision. We believe everyone should have the right to choose euthanasia. If this choice is not allowed, it is unjust. Most importantly, every person should have the right to decide when to leave this world. I hope the government allows you to do this. If you feel you have completed your duties for your family and society and want to leave this world, then there is nothing wrong with this. If you want to donate your organs, that's great; it can save many people's lives, especially children or young adults.
Palliative care in the UK is quite pathetic, unless you can afford to live out your days in a private institution you will be miserable and in pain or dizzy all the time. Dying with dignity really just means - very slowly choke to death if lucky, get a stroke half way through ad pass out and suffocate before you wake up again. This is how withdrawal of treatment usually looks like. But hey, at least the NHS admins get to feel better about themselves and thats what counts :D
You absolutely do! They form part of the curriculum that med students are expected to know, and at least at Warwick ethics and law are interwoven with all our other modules :)
What about kids born alive during abortion left alive in bins for days before die but do tors can't end their misery cus get done for murder🤔 if someone wants to die might end up injured damaged for life or die horribly slowly cus not assisted🙏
@@phoenixtoash2396i can assure you British doctors do not make a profit based on the number of ill patients. you are conflating the NHS with the American healthcare system.
This video is fantastic and I’m shocked it hasn’t gained more traction on here. Thank you and keep it up :)

This video is amazing, thank you so much
The NHS duty should be to help patients who suffer and give them they own choice not say it is not are priority
Messing around with the British people

Great video! Thanks
Great Video for my Bioethics module! Have to go on 1.75x speed though. HAHAHA
Do you get to study medical law and ethics modules in grad med school?
You absolutely do! They form part of the curriculum that med students are expected to know, and at least at Warwick ethics and law are interwoven with all our other modules :)
