Palliative care, crucial for end-of-life quality, is ethically justified by the principle of double effect. This approach respects patient autonomy while managing risks like respiratory depression.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Ethics
  • Palliative Care
  • Hospice Movement

Background:

  • The hospice movement significantly advanced palliative care.
  • Effective palliation is vital for quality of life and a dignified death in terminally ill patients.
  • Respiratory depression is an inherent, yet debated, risk in palliative care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the ethical underpinnings of palliative care.
  • To demonstrate how palliative care aligns with ethical norms.
  • To address the moral considerations of managing symptoms in terminally ill patients.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of the ethical principle of double effect.
  • Examination of the relationship between palliative care and patient autonomy.
Keywords:
Death and Euthanasia
