Should Active Euthanasia Be Morally and Legally Permissible? [PDF]

, 2020
In the United States, death is mostly avoided at all costs, making euthanasia a highly controversial topic. The two distinct types of euthanasia in the United States are active and passive euthanasia.

“Why can't they put us to sleep if we are suffering?”: La Nada and the desire for euthanasia among institutionalized older adults in Peru

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, I examine how institutionalized older adults in Peru articulate suffering through the idiom of la nada—“nothingness”—and how this shapes desires for euthanasia. Moving from close ethnography of bodies in space and time to structural and ethical discourses on euthanasia, I argue that calls for euthanasia arise not only from ...

Quality of Life Shapes Owner Decision‐Making in Canine Cancer Care: Insights From Large‐Scale Online Discourse

Veterinary and Comparative Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Canine cancer imposes substantial emotional, financial and decisional burden on owners navigating complex referral pathways and treatment options. Understanding how owners experience and interpret these pathways is essential to improving care delivery.

Heat treatment combined with hybrid exercises retraining mitigates cellular markers of protein turnover after hindlimb suspension in male mice: A pilot study

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent evidence suggests that heat treatment (HT) and resistance training can limit skeletal muscle mass loss during immobilization. However, the effects of repeated HT sessions combined with hybrid exercises (EX), which promote both endurance and resistance responses, on muscle protein turnover following hindlimb unloading (HU) remain ...

Euthanasia and criminal law [PDF]

, 2008
Euthanasia and criminal law If we wish to speak about euthanasia, it is necessary to say, what really mean this term. The noun "euthanasia" came from Greek language and it is composed from two Greek nouns, "eu" and "thanatos". The noun "eu" mean good and

Alterations to longitudinal muscle morphology and mechanical function following immobilization and recovery in female ovariectomized and intact rats

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Serial sarcomere number (SSN) is reduced following immobilization of a muscle in a shortened position in male rodents thereby impairing muscle contractile function. However, in female rodents the effects of oestrogen on SSN and mechanical changes following immobilization and re‐ambulation are unknown.

Why Does Removing Machines Count as "Passive" Euthanasia?

, 1997
The distinction between "passive" and "active" euthanasia, though problematic and highly criticized, retains a certain intuitive appeal. When a patient is allowed to die, nature appears simply to be taking its course. Yet when a patient is killed by, say,

Identification of TREK channels in mouse intracardiac ganglion neurons

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Role of TWIK‐related K+ (TREK) channels in intracardiac ganglion neurons. CD‐1 mice were used to establish primary cultures of intracardiac neurons for immunochemical characterization and patch‐clamp electrophysiology. Intracardiac neurons express functional TREK channels, which modulate neuronal excitability by regulating ...

Intracellular mechanosensation in intestinal smooth muscle: Piezo1 complexes amplify signalling beyond the surface

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Mechanosensation is not confined to the cell surface. In intestinal smooth muscle Piezo1 is predominantly intracellular (86%), where it forms a nanoscale (<40 nm) complex at the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR)–plasma membrane junction. Within this sensor–amplifier–effector axis intra‐Piezo1 is the sensor that detects force at the SR,

The three‐element Windkessel parameters have empirical relations that uniquely define the mechanoenergetics of cardiac muscle shortening

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend By collecting literature data across multiple species, we identified empirical relations among arterial resistance, compliance and impedance, which are the three biophysical indices used to characterise the arterial load against which the heart ejects.
