Pain, palliative care, and the politics of dying: Rethinking suffering in the assisted suicide debate.
Pain is cited as a fundamental rationale behind the campaign for 'assisted dying' (assisted suicide and euthanasia). However, current legislative proposals for England and Wales before the Westminster Parliament are silent on pain and on suffering. For patients to have real choice, they must be able to access the care they need, not feel coerced into viewing an early death as their only option. Yet current palliative care provision is dependent on voluntary donations, with severe deficits in some areas that urgently need to be addressed.
期刊介绍:
British Journal of Pain is a peer-reviewed quarterly British journal with an international multidisciplinary Editorial Board. The journal publishes original research and reviews on all major aspects of pain and pain management. Reviews reflect the body of evidence of the topic and are suitable for a multidisciplinary readership. Where empirical evidence is lacking, the reviews reflect the generally held opinions of experts in the field. The Journal has broadened its scope and has become a forum for publishing primary research together with brief reports related to pain and pain interventions. Submissions from all over the world have been published and are welcome. Official journal of the British Pain Society.
