Review of Euthanasia as a Therapy in Terminal Condition from Health and Law Perspective
Subject
Euthanasia, health, law, perspective
Description
Introduction: Terminal conditions and their treatment processes initiate
actions that can be taken to relieve patients of the pain they suffer. This
action is carried out by accelerating the death of patients with terminal
conditions, known as euthanasia. Euthanasia is still being debated
regarding the legal aspects and purpose of the act as part of the patient's
treatment. This study aims to determine the perspective of euthanasia as
part of the treatment or therapy of terminal conditions.
Methods: This research is a literature study from several databases,
including Proquest, Science Direct, SpringerLink, and Google Scholar. The
article search used keywords combined with booleans. 755 articles were
found according to the keywords, and 12 articles were selected using
Prism analysis.
Results: Euthanasia is seen as a way for terminal patients who have been
resistant to treatment to be free from the misery of their illness. Euthanasia
in health can be carried out if it is the patient's conscious choice without
coercion and has met the medical requirements. Euthanasia can be carried
out in areas, regions, or countries where there are regulations, laws, or
similar regulations governing the implementation of euthanasia.
Conclusion: With the existence of clear rules for the implementation of
euthanasia, health workers or families involved in euthanasia can provide
a clear understanding of how to implement euthanasia.
