Abstract

La qualité de vie renvoie habituellement aux expériences subjectives vécues par une personne mais aussi aux conditions de vie objectives dans lesquelles cette dernière évolue.Originaires d'une dizaine de pays, les auteurs présentent un large éventail de perspectives sur la qualité de vie des personnes souffrant d'un handicap, notamment lié à un retard mental. Le concept de qualité est présenté dans des domaines aussi divers que le logement, le milieu de travail, l'école, les loisirs, et des personnes d'âge différent (enfants, adultes, personnes âgées). Les approches sont à la fois théoriques avec une présentation de modèles et des résultats de recherches, et aussi pratiques : formation du personnel, intervention précoce, etc.

Abstract

Enormous advances have been made in the care of tiny babies. Continued existence, however, is sometimes not in their own best interests. For staff in Neonatal Units, already carrying out demanding work, decisions about which babies to treat intensively are particularly difficult and stressful to make. This book allows us to see how they decide and how they manage such cases. The facts come from a rigorous study carried out by two researchers, both heath care professionals. One of them, Dr Hazel McHaffie, spent months in six large Neonatal Units watching and listening to the doctors and nurses. We hear them describe their innermost feelings and doubts. We also see the tensions and conflicts of the real life situations where personalities and strong beliefs clash. There are no easy answers but this insight into the complexity of life and death decisions helps us to understand the questions and the dilemmas. The book reveals: the innermost feelings and doubts of staff having to make these stresful decisions; the agonies and complexities of having to make life and death decisions; and real-life situation conflict where personalities and strong beliefs clash.The purpose of the book is to help the reader understand the questions and dilemmas surrounding this very emotive subject. For staff in Neonatal Units decisions about which babies to treat intensively are difficult and stressful to make. This book allows us to see how they decide and how they manage such cases. It shows the feelings and doubts of staff having to make these decisions; and real-life situation conflict where personalities and strong beliefs clash.

Abstract

The aim of "The Ethical Challenges of Ageing" is to bring together some of the most significant contributions to the Fourth International Congress on Ethics that took place from 23 March 2011 to 26 March 2011 in Strasbourg. The Congress was organized by the University of Strasbourg European Centre for Ethics Teaching and Research (CEERE), in collaboration with the Universities of Lausanne, Geneva and Amsterdam, and under the patronage of Thorbjørn Jagland, Secretary General of the Council of Europe, and Roselyne Bachelot, French Minister of Solidarity and Social Cohesion, with the involvement of Philippe Richert, French Minister with responsibility for local government and President of the Alsace Regional Council, and the support of several other organizations. This edition includes a number of contributions from the Fourth JIE and associated activities. All the papers can be viewed on the website (www.ethique-alsace.unistra.fr; see video on Canal Ethique/CanalC2 under "Dans la série: Centre Européen d'Enseignement et de Recherche en Ethique"; direct link: http://www.canalc2.tv/video.asp?idEvenement=569), and will help stimulate a debate that is in no doubt about its objective. It displays all the colours of the autumn, from the brightest to the darkest. It deconstructs the concept of old age with a view to clarifying issues raised by different forms of practice and by representations concerned with older people.

Abstract

Quality of life issues, important for all, are particularly important for those who have the least control over their environment - individuals with advanced dementia. Often times, these individuals are unable to verbalize their frustrations and may exhibit agitation and other problem behaviors. Where traditional approaches may fail, this book provides new and proven techniques to enhance the lives of those individuals afflicted with advanced dementia. Instead of focusing on decreasing the problem behaviors, Enhancing the Quality of Life in Advanced Dementia focuses on alternative methods of increasing the positive behaviors.

Abstract

As medical technology advances and severely injured or ill people can be kept alive and functioning long beyond what was previously medically possible, the debate surrounding the ethics of end-of-life care and quality-of-life issues has grown more urgent.In this lucid and vigorous new book, Craig Paterson discusses assisted suicide and euthanasia from a fully fledged but non-dogmatic secular natural law perspective. He rehabilitates and revitalises the natural law approach to moral reasoning by developing a pluralistic account of just why we are required by practical rationality to respect and not violate key demands generated by the primary goods of persons, especially human life.Important issues that shape the moral quality of an action are explained and analysed: intention/foresight; action/omission; action/consequences; killing/letting die; innocence/non-innocence; and, person/non-person. Paterson defends the central normative proposition that 'it is always a serious moral wrong to intentionally kill an innocent human person, whether self or another, notwithstanding any further appeal to consequences or motive'. Discusses assisted suicide and euthanasia from a secular natural law perspective. This book explains issues that shape the moral quality of an action: intention/foresight; action/omission; action/consequences; killing/letting die; innocence/non-innocence; and, person/non-person.

Abstract

'Ce n'est plus une vie', 'je veux encore vivre, même avec cette maladie', 'ma vie n'a plus de valeur' : confronté à la maladie, à la déchéance physique, à la perte provisoire ou définitive de certaines capacités, chacun d'entre nous peut être conduit à énoncer de tels propos. Quoi de plus délicat, cependant, que l'évaluation de la valeur de la vie? Cet ouvrage aborde le sens et la portée de cette réflexion dans une situation où elle s'impose dans toute sa radicalité : celle des décisions de maintien ou d'interruption de la vie prises au chevet du patient dans les hôpitaux. En choisissant d'aborder ainsi la question de la valeur de la vie, ce livre fait le pari qu'une approche philosophique nourrie par une rencontre avec l'univers de la médecine contemporaine éclairera davantage le sens de cette notion, son fondement et ses limites, qu'une approche abstraite de tout contexte. La démarche cherche aussi à établir un dialogue entre philosophes et médecins en proposant une analyse des différents contextes thérapeutiques où une décision de maintien ou d'interruption de la vie doit être prise. A la lumière de cette analyse, l'ouvrage propose une réflexion critique sur les usages de l'idée de valeur de la vie pour en désavouer la pertinence et en nier la légitimité éthique. Les patients, malades mais aussi citoyens, doivent forger en concertation avec les médecins d'autres critères pour fonder une décision aussi déterminante que celle de maintenir ou d'interrompre le cours d'une vie humaine
