Report on Yes well framed to euthanasia
A sick man should be able to claim the help of a doctor to die, and that, legally.
After more than two years of work, the parliamentary committee that focused on assisted suicide and euthanasia has come to this conclusion, in a 180-page report released Thursday.
To claim the aid of a physician to shorten his days, a patient should be of age, suffering from an incurable disease and estimate endure unbearable physical or psychological suffering.
In addition, the request for euthanasia must come from the patient himself, be in writing and two doctors must certify its compliance.
The Commission on the right to die with dignity, which included nine members of all political parties, therefore recommends that the Attorney General issue a directive to the Director of Criminal and Penal Prosecutions (DCPP) so we can no longer pursue a doctor having helped a dying to end the life.
The Commission was sensitive to the demands of the medical profession, who claimed his side of tags to meet strict, if it was in line to allow some form of euthanasia.
The College of Physicians and the College of Nurses are encouraged to modify their code of ethics, so that their members can assist or perform the type of euthanasia defined by law.
A healthy person could also preventive, to sign a notarized document, which would have a binding legal value, calling medical help to die, "in case they become irreversibly unconscious."
Essentially, however, members of the Committee particularly stressed in their report on the need to avoid the seriously ill the odium of having to beg for assistance to die.
Many of the 24 recommendations of the Commission are therefore intended to assert an upward revision of the provision of palliative services, whether in hospital, in nursing homes or at home. In addition, palliative care should not be reserved for people with cancer, but also be offered to those suffering from degenerative diseases.
All health professionals should receive specific training in palliative care, the commission said.
The receipt of palliative care should become a legally recognized right.
This commission had been a record number of participants, who received about 300 submissions and heard 400 witnesses.
Not to finish his report on a shelf, the commission recommends a law that the coach by June 2013.
