7 Preface Since the beginning of the hospice movement in 1967, total pain management has been the declared goal of hospice care. Palliating the whole person s physical, psycho-social, and spiritual states or conditions are central to managing pain which induces suffering. At the end stage of life, an inextricable component of an ethics of adjusted care requires recognition of a fundamental right to avoid cruel and unusual suffering from terminal illness. This book urges wider consideration and use of terminal sedation, or sedation until death, as efficacious palliative treatment and as a reasonable medical procedure in order to safeguard a right to a dignified death. Absent the recognition of a constitutional right or, for that matter, liberty interest in dying with dignity, the best position would be to but accept and recognize the common law right to resist physical intrusion as the corner stone for refusing treatment thereby embracing a more compassionate and enlightened ethic of understanding in managing end-of-life issues. If a human right to avoid refractory pain of whatever nature in end-stage illness is, however, established by the state, a co-ordinate responsibility must be assumed by health care providers to make medical judgments consistent with preserving the best interests of a patient s quality of life by alleviating suffering. The principle of medical futility is the preferred construct for implementing this professional responsibility. Rather than continuing to be mired in the vexatious quagmire of the doctrine of double effect all in an effort vii
8 viii Preface to test whether end-stage decisions by health care providers are licit or illicit a relatively simple test of proportionality, or cost-benefit analysis, is proffered. Imbedded, necessarily, in this equation is the humane virtue of compassion, charity, mercy or agape. Assertions of state interest to safeguard public morality by restricting intimate associational freedoms to accelerate death in a terminal illness are suspicious if, indeed, not invalid. No individual should be forced to live when, in a futile medical condition, he or she is suffering from intractable somatic and/or non-somatic existential pain. The major bioethical issues and their clinical applications presented in this book have been tested in the market place of ideas in seven major lectures that I have delivered: Strategizing the End-Game: Palliative Medicine and the Law, at the Faculty of Law, University of Oxford, England, 2012; Seeking an Easeful Death: Permutations within a Penumbra, at The Rothermere Institute, University of Oxford, England, 2012; Managing End-of-Life Care: Medico-Legal, Social, Ethical, and Philosophical Challenges, The Myles N. Brand Lecture, Center for Law, Ethics, and Applied Research in Health Information, at the Indiana University School of Law, 2011; Bioethics and Human Rights: Toward a New Constitutionalism, a George G. Winterton Memorial Lecture, at the University of Sydney, Australia, 2010; The Quality of Mercy and Common Dignity: Safeguarding The Last Right, a University Lecture at The University of St. Andrews, Scotland, 2007; and Of Panjandrums, Pooh-Bahs, Parvenus, and Prophets: Law, Religion, and Medical Science, The Michael D. Kirby Lecture, Macquarie University Faculty of Law, Australia, This book is drawn also from my article, Refractory Pain, Existential Suffering, and Palliative Care: Releasing an Unbearable Lightness of Being, 20 CORNELL JOURNAL OF LAW AND PUBLIC POLICY (2011) and completes development of my Bioethics Health Care epistemology that I posited initially with the publication of All s Well That Ends Well: Toward a Policy of Assisted Rational Suicide or Merely Enlightened Self- Determination?, 22 U.C.
