Euthanasia?

Assisted suicide and active euthanasia where it is legal responses are always extreme, last resort, in the face of human tragedies. Do the best we can respond to human suffering with dignity and respect, that in these cases a task profoundly difficult.

is one reason why the testimony of Dr. Daphne Berner is important. He is also courageous. Admirable, even. Serve with a simple honesty the human drama that is lived, to present reality without first seek to defend themselves, while one is accused of euthanasia, this is a rare example and should be welcomed . When I commented on this case live, I have not had time to say it and I wanted to catch it.

Important, this is the case also for the light it throws on some troubling aspects of assisted dying. Lets see. First law. In Switzerland assisted suicide is legal (Art. 115 Swiss Penal Code) . Euthanasia, not (Art. 114 Swiss Penal Code) . Ethically, the distinction is important. In the case of euthanasia, a person kills another. In the case of assisted suicide, no. But at the same time, this case shows how this limit may be tenuous. Because this is how the facts are described:

(...) the woman had chosen to end his days with the help of Exit. But in time, completely paralyzed except for one foot, the patient could not activate itself drip containing the lethal substance.

Daphne Berner then proposed to the young woman the next thing: "When you move your foot, it's as if you open the seam and it is I who will open it." And to clarify: "She seemed very relieved that my proposal is what we did. She managed to say now and she moved her foot and I opened the controller. There. "

It's always hard to tell from the comfortable distance at which one reads. But if I try to be I sincerely believe that in such a case, if I were convinced that it is the firm resolve of the patient, and if I was no alternative to soothe her pain otherwise I might well do the same thing yes. This is not something we say lightly.

Some of the issues is there. If our response to this case is to think of it, put the person who has found in this case jail was something problematic. So obviously any the issue is not there. As an ethical decision may stick to a singular case. A legal decision, no. And it seems that there are at least two ways of seeing this case.

First, we can see a reason to reopen the debate on the legalization of euthanasia. If it is prohibited, it is because of the prohibition of homicide. But we accept that all cases of homicide (including self-defense) can be justified. If the killing is forbidden to ask a crucial boundary-to-human violence, then a case like this should really be banned?

Read the situation and is to begin by admitting guilt, then eventually ask whether and how the standard problem. Legalize euthanasia? This choice would depend on what we can implement to avoid excesses, and the confidence we have that these measures can be effective. But that choice should also depend on the importance we give to situations like this patient. A people who are too limited by the disease in order to commit suicide, and that can not be used much more of an assisted death. These people, it may seem reasonable to present them die more quickly, anticipate, before losing the ability to commit suicide. And this is also a drift.

But there is a second possible reading of this case. Y see an opportunity for questioning on the boundaries between euthanasia and assisted suicide. This limit is important, but it can not be reduced to abstract issues. For here, that operated the mechanism? If instead of saying 'now', the patient had driven the mechanism of the foot, this trial would certainly not take place. Redefined as assisted suicide case where a competent patient, the physician operates, instead of operating the mechanism for killing himself, can it be? In theoretical terms the usual kind of situation is unthinkable. But there are cases where these theoretical limits are clear, this story shows that it is not always the case. On a philosophical level, which is the agent in this story, the proximal cause of death of the patient? It could probably be debate. In political terms, see here a case of assisted suicide could be a way to recognize the legality of the humane decision of Dr. Daphne Berner, without having to tackle head on the issue of euthanasia in our laws. And without either draw a precedent that might include patients incapable of discernment. That would be a solution rather Swiss, finally.

Nutrition enforced, law and ethics

Officer, timeliness of bioethics times. I'll to short messages. First things first. The Federal Tribunal ruled on the case of Bernard Rappaz. The TF Case are here, but as the site is not obvious to navigate I've made a copy and paste it on here Rappaz.

is a very interesting read that this decision of the Tribunal. The case is difficult. It asks questions pertaining to the role of law as the limit, the rights that we care - or non-prison up to the limits to be put to human violence, the role of professional ethics, and it's just the beginning. But on this point of professional ethics, you understand that I stop. I made a note that appeared in The Times today. You will find it here. Happy reading and come back tell me what you think ...

Urban scenes, portraits sketched from life, landscapes glimpsed from a train or bus: this book gives a very vivid picture of the Asian People's Daily, and casts a distant, sometimes ironic, in the high places of tourism such as Angkor and Halong Bay.

Harbour







I return the harbor, where I set foot for the first time. B. I had talked a lot about the famous architecture of the city (it could easily play with legos buildings), its center of art in the form of nuclear fire, I saw it all, and large tanks of chemicals port, and walkways Stalinist, I was not disappointed.
And the biennale of contemporary drawing, and of originals Brecht Evens, stunning designs Manouach Ilan, and so on, and part of praxinoscopes Ruppert and Mulot, completely unbelievable. Their scenario is still unlikely, a game in which players must simulate drunkenness, (and one of them succeeds a little too), everything is told through images interspersed praxinoscopes (for non-specialists animation techniques in 1920, is a short animation by volume made on a rotating support, such as a turntable platter), which praxinoscopes, therefore, show the story in motion.
They put some time in their books (in monkey skins, I think), but now we can finally see them in motion, and it's fabulous.

But I was there for a screening of animated shorts, which oddly Cigarillos my film, which is 7 years old were selected. It has found its place well before this clip of Gino Hoiting Bud " ROOKSHOW " sympathetic ode to cigarettes (and a famous American brand.)
And the film that won, " OUTSIDE THE BOX "Joseph Pelling, is precisely the one I chose if I had jury. it is in English without subtitles, then just to relocate, "outside the box" is a phrase that the author intended all the time in his school, which means roughly "a little more imaginative," it was angry enough to do it in this movie.
Pff, they are strong leaders these students English and Dutch.

A lighter topic

It's Friday, anyway. And then it's awards season IgNobel. And prices IgNobel are partly responsible for starting this blog . In addition, this year the Swiss has not awarded the IgNobel Peace which we seem to be these days subscribers. Deuce and the reasons that I could still bring the IgNobel all worthwhile to be followed. Here is an excerpt from the anthology this year:

Physics: three New Zealand researchers, who have (finally) showed that it could reduce the risk of falling on icy roads by putting on socks shoes. Not only the ridiculous does not kill, but most times it saves your life.

Peace: Three British scientists, which confirmed very seriously our intuition that him cursing relieves pain. If we apply it seriously, emergency services will never be quite the same.

Public Health: Three American researchers, affiliated with the very serious Industrial Health and Safety Office at Fort Detrick for demonstrating experimentally that microbes cling bearded scientists.

Medicine: two Dutch researchers, who found they could treat asthma by a roller coaster ride. The story does not say if it's proportional to the funk that you plug it, because after all the adrenaline and cortisol (stress hormones some) is actually good for asthma. But this is probably the subject of future studies.

Engineering : to two researchers from the Zoological Society of London, to have developed a technique for monitoring the whales by sending a remote controlled helicopter ... uh ... take their nasal secretions. You know, when flying low blow and that if we can practically ...?

Economy: too easy this year he was awarded the officials of Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch and Magnetar for having "created and promoted new ways of investing money - ways that maximize gains and minimize risks to the global economy, or part of this economy. "must be read to the end, there.

chemistry: a mixed team of MIT, University of Texas, and Hawaii, and British Petroleum, for demonstrating that it was wrong as oil and water do not mix .

Management : perhaps the most worrisome, because the winners are an Italian team that has demonstrated mathematically that, if certain initial conditions are given, the organizations become more efficient in deciding promotions to chance rather than skill . Well, mind you, it's disturbing depends for whom.

And last but not least, Biology: a Sino-British team, scientifically documented to have oral sex with bats. scientifically interesting because they join a club and relatively closed species. But in addition they show a talent freestyle difficult to duplicate in ours ...

As usual, the winners are invited to say a few words and the idea is to demonstrate on this occasion their sense of humor and self-mockery. The video for this year is not available yet but it will soon here and usually they are worth the detour. However, I can not tell you if the end will be classified X. ..
