Should Social Workers participate in Physician-Assisted Suicides?
WHY THEY SHOULDN'T
Goes against oath
Can affect mental health
Against own ethical values
WHY THEY SHOULD
Patient no longer suffers
Shows compassion
It's their job to be with their patient
Help make more logical decisions for patient's family
Questions
Are there different ways to help patient other than death?
Does participation in P.A.S go against NASW Code of Ethics?
How will participation in P.A.S affect the social workers?
Should social workers let their personal opinions or beliefs get in the way of their job obligations?
My Opinion
I believe Social Workers should participate in P.A.S
It is their job to stand by patient
They must help patient/ptient's family during and after
