A different but related argument was offered by Kipke (2015), who pointed out that, once one endorses PAS, there are no coherent ethical objections to the provision of assisted suicide outside the healthcare system, including the commercialization of this practice; in other words, permitting PAS in a medical setting could eventually lead to the implementation of this practice on a for-profit basis.

Finally, as Johnstone (2013) has pointed out, the use of dementia in public debates over assisted dying has led to the adoption of problematic imagery and metaphors to describe dementia. WebIn The Netherlands voluntariness and unbearable suffering are required for euthanasia. As with Krags (Krag, 2014) analysis of a similar situation in high-income men, such considerations suggest that, depending on social and cultural contexts, groups that are thought of as privileged may actually be paradoxically vulnerable to an indiscriminate adoption of euthanasia or PAS.

The significant discrepancy between these results suggests that legalization of PAS may produce significant shifts in the attitudes of caregivers towards this practice, regardless of their earlier attitudes; moreover, such attitudes and shifts are unlikely to be uniform, and may be crucially influenced by variables such as sex and ethnicity (Owen et al., 2001; Wicher and Meeker, 2012; Stolz et al., 2015; Cohen-Mansfield and Brill, 2020) as well as by individual political and religious beliefs (Kemmelmeier et al., 2002; Richter et al., 2001; O'Dwyer et al., 2016).

How to create effective advance directives to avoid living into severe dementia is the focus in this paper: what kinds of care should be withheld and when and the normative force of directives themselves are reviewed. From an ethical perspective, this would represent a significant paradigm shift from existing standards of care in neuropsychiatry, where suicide is seen as something to be prevented rather than permitted under supervision (Serafini et al., 2016; D'Anci et al., 2019); this could also lead to a slippery slope phenomenon where PAS is seen as the simplest or most cost-effective intervention for any difficult-to-treat neuropsychiatric disorder, particularly in vulnerable populations. Despite these limitations, this analysis suggests that approval of euthanasia and, by extension, PAS may be strongest in societies characterized by a high income, higher social capital, low religiosity, higher cultural individualism, and lower cultural uncertainty avoidance.
