“…[53][54][55] Although advance directives can be effective communication tools when they exist, there are significant challenges to their universal application, including inaccurate public knowledge, low rates of completion, and lack of understanding of implications. 53,54,[56][57][58] The original ACA provision authorizing Medicare funding of advance directive discussions was written to help overcome barriers of ignorance and fear of advance care planning. This provision passed in the House of Representatives in November 2009, but was not included in the final version.…”

The recent enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010, and the ongoing debate over reform of the U.S. health care system, raise numerous important ethical issues. This article reviews basic provisions of the ACA; examines underlying moral and policy issues in the U.S. health care reform debate; and addresses health care reform's likely effects on access to care, emergency department (ED) crowding, and end-of-life care. The article concludes with several suggested actions that emergency physicians (EPs) should take to contribute to the success of health care reform in America.

“…One study was conducted among outpatients at university-affiliated clinics in Oregon, USA, in 1999, that is, approximately two years after the passage of legislation allowing the practice of physician-assisted suicide under specific conditions (Silveira et al, 2000). For each of a series of vignettes (see box 6), respondents were asked to indicate whether the practice was legal or illegal under legislation in force in Oregon.…”

“…(Mullens, 1994). Malgré cet appui majoritaire grandissant, certains auteurs ont émis des critiques quant à la validité des résultats des sondages: les gens seraient confus sur ce qu'est réellement l'euthanasie (Silveira et al, 2000 ;Emanuel et al, 1998;McInerney et al, 1995) et des erreurs méthodologiques dans la formulation des questions inciteraient certaines personnes à répondre de manière plus positive (Marcoux et al, 2007). Toutefois, il a été démontré que même lorsque ces sources potentielles d'invalidation sont contrôlées, les gens demeurent majoritairement favorables à l'euthanasie (Marcoux et al, 2007).…”

L’opinion publique est de plus en plus favorable à la pratique de l’euthanasie dans un contexte de maladie incurable et de souffrances, ce qui constitue un argument prisé par les défenseurs de l’euthanasie. Cette étude démontre que la population québécoise y est majoritairement favorable, mais qu’une proportion importante émet des réserves dans d’autres contextes comme lorsque la personne ne souffre pas, lorsqu’il y a espoir de guérison, lorsque le motif de la demande est la souffrance psychologique ou morale, ou lorsque la personne est seulement très âgée. Selon les conditions de vie et de santé proposées, des caractéristiques sociodémographiques différentes semblent liées au fait de changer ou non d’opinion. D’autres études doivent être menées afin de mieux comprendre ce qui caractérise l’opinion de la population québécoise sur l’euthanasie et d’en suivre l’évolution.Growing public support towards the practice of euthanasia in situations of painful terminal illnesses provides a strong argument widely used by proponents for legalized euthanasia. This study reveals that the majority of Quebec’s population would be in favor of euthanasia for incurable and suffering patients, but showed limited support in other cases such as when the patient is not suffering, when there is hope for recovery, when the main reason is psychological suffering or when a person has simply reached an old age. Different social-demographic characteristics appear associated with changes in opinion depending on the proposed case scenarios. Other studies must be conducted to observe the evolution of public opinion toward euthanasia in Quebec in order to reach a better understanding of this complex issue
