I feel like at first it’s easy to side with someone with cancer wish to die but it is important to understand why instead of just assuming. After reading different cases, the wish can be averted. #rlst305a
So a philosopher could reject the idea of talking someone out of suicide due to “respect for ones autonomous choices”? It almost seems maleficent #rlst305a
I can see how doctors acting under ODWDA wouldn’t be seen as killing. That could open the door for any physician writing a prescription as “killing” a patient bc if a patient WANTS to, almost any prescription medicine can kill if taken excessively #rlst305a
Interesting that Jews consider mental health in regards to informed consent & treatment options. Agree that if knowing is more detrimental to patient than not, perhaps they shouldn’t know. #rlst305a
Using implicit (or general) consent in the case of examinations at a training hospital seems like lack of respect for autonomy. Especially in the anesthetized patients, consent to treat ≠ consent for anyone to treat #rlst305a
