Euthanasia: A Challenge in Clinical Education
Authors
Abstract:
Introduction: Euthanasia is one of the most frequent question and challenging issue in clinical education. This paper aimed to investigate different views in this matter. Methods: This review article was prepared through searching scientific databases and literature that was published during 2000-2011. Results: Considering the ethical and religious principles, current views about euthanasia are different and some sometimes are opposite. Even in the societies that agree to Euthanasia, there are many limitations. Therefore, it seems that answering for the question "Euthanasia Yes or No?" is still a dilemma in medical education. Conclusion: Since there are many limitations for its fulfilling in societies which agree to euthanasia, and considering that not all the conditions can be meet, it seems that answering for the question "Euthanasia Yes or No" is still a dilemma and needs further investigations and studies.
