Abstract
This workshop aimed to investigate students' perspectives on physician-assisted suicide (PAS) and its potential legalisation. A two-pronged strategy was used - a goldfish bowl roleplay simulation and a facilitated group discussion. The roleplay enabled students to engage with practical and emotional challenges related to responding to a PAS request, while the discussion encouraged open dialogue on the ethical complexities of legalising PAS. Students showed nuanced changes in perspectives on PAS by actively participating in roleplay and discussions, demonstrating the potential for these approaches to promote deeper understanding.
本次研讨会旨在调查学生对医生协助自杀(PAS)及其合法化可能性的看法。我们采用了双管齐下的策略--模拟金鱼缸角色扮演和小组讨论。角色扮演使学生能够参与应对与 PAS 请求有关的实际和情感挑战,而讨论则鼓励就 PAS 合法化的伦理复杂性展开公开对话。学生们通过积极参与角色扮演和讨论,对临考前心理辅导的看法发生了细微的变化,这表明这些方法具有促进加深理解的潜力。
