Pain (Aches) 10/01/1996 - "The concerns, particularly about uncontrolled pain, have helped drive the assisted-suicide discussions" 07/02/1996 - "Survey reveals differences on doctor-assisted suicide: patients facing choice want relief from pain." 09/15/2001 - "This study follows on from those carried out in 1990/1991 and 1995/1996, which investigated euthanasia and other medical end-of-life decisions (assisted suicide, termination of life without the patient's explicit request, treatment of pain and symptoms with a possible life-shortening effect, and forgoing potentially life-prolonging treatment)" 01/01/1999 - "The present study concentrates on the attitudes of high school students toward active doctor-assisted suicide as described in hypothetical doctor-patient scenarios, orthogonally manipulating doctor's reaction to patient's wishes to end his/her life (whether discussed, accepted or encouraged), presence of patient's physical pain, presence of patient's emotional pain, and the gender of the hypothetical patient" 04/01/1998 - "The objectives of this study are to describe: (a) the presence of; and (b) compliance with guidelines in cases of euthanasia and intensifying the alleviation of pain and symptoms; (c) the opinions of physicians about written guidelines; and (d) the relationship between meeting the requirements for prudent practice and presence of, and compliance with guidelines for euthanasia or assisted suicide (EAS)" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...

3.	Persistent Vegetative State (Vegetative State) 11/01/1998 - "OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to describe: (a) the prevalence and content of policies on euthanasia or assisted suicide (EAS) in three different types of nursing homes; (b) specific content items of written guidelines for EAS; and (c) the prevalence of guidelines on withholding or withdrawing treatment from severely demented patients and patients in a persistent vegetative state in the nursing homes" 05/01/2008 - "Each physician received a structured questionnaire exploring what they thought of two different scenarios related to physician-assisted death: 1) intolerable suffering of patients; and 2) persistent vegetative state (PVS)" 03/01/2005 - "In Japan, "death with dignity" is a widely known term that is distinguished from "euthanasia." It is generally defined as "the act of letting a terminally ill or a patient in a persistent vegetative state die by withdrawing life-sustaining treatment on request in the form of a living will." Most Japanese people consider death with dignity a desirable way of terminating one's life and it is therefore acceptable as a "natural death" or "humane death." Originally, death with dignity was regarded as a passive intervention, but since the 1990s, its connotations have changed in western countries; people claim that voluntary active euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide should be legalized as death with dignity or the "right to die." In this paper, I examine the points and problems of this new type of death with dignity and propose an alternative version of death with dignity especially for the Japanese context, i.e" 01/01/2005 - "From the legal sanction of physician-assisted suicide, the euthanasia movement now tries to advance the legal protection for "mercy killing." Terri was diagnosed with persistent vegetative state, a term that is outdated, vague and imprecise and that likens a human being to a vegetable" 08/24/1996 - "Euthanasia, physician-assisted suicide, and persistent vegetative state."
