Welcome to Medical Ethics Unpacked! 00:00 Introduction to Medical Ethics Unpacked 00:45 Key Issues in the Debate on Euthanasia and Mental Illness 07:25 Clinical Perspective on Capacity and Competence 12:45 Challenges in Evaluating Capacity in Mental Illness 19:32 Treatment Options and the Role of Social Structures In their inaugural episode of Medical Ethics Unpacked, hosts Steve Levine, MD, a psychiatrist, and Dominic Sisti, PhD, a bioethicist, begin a 2-part discussion examining medically-assisted suicide, often referred to as medical assistance in dying (MAID), and euthanasia, particularly in the context of severe psychiatric conditions . Part 1 of the discussion featured above focuses on foundational concepts and the broader context of MAID, laying the groundwork for an in-depth ethical discussion in part 2. Sisti, an associate professor in the Department of Medical Ethics & Health Policy and the director of the Scattergood Program for the Applied Ethics of Behavioral Health Care at the University of Pennsylvania, introduces 2 critical questions at the heart of the debate: determining whether individuals with severe psychiatric illnesses have the capacity to make autonomous decisions about euthanasia and whether psychiatric conditions can be considered terminal. As Sisti notes, these questions are particularly challenging given the complexities of suicidality, which is both a symptom of certain psychiatric illnesses and a factor influencing the desire for euthanasia. Sisti also examines data from jurisdictions where psychiatric euthanasia is legal, such as Belgium and the Netherlands, noting trends like gender disparities and inconsistent capacity evaluations that raise concerns about equity and justice. He emphasizes the need for robust societal safeguards to ensure that MAID is not prematurely offered to individuals whose suffering might be mitigated through other means. Later, Levine provides a clinical perspective, delving into the distinction between capacity and competence, explaining how capacity evaluations are conducted by physicians, and discussing the nuances of suicidality as a dynamic and context-dependent phenomenon. He highlights the episodic nature of conditions like major depressive disorder and the potential for recovery through treatments, such as ketamine or psychedelics. However, he acknowledges the limitations of psychiatric care, including gaps in treatment effectiveness and accessibility, which complicate decisions regarding MAID. Levine also raises the philosophical question of whether a wish to die is always pathological or whether it can sometimes be an expression of autonomy, further blurring the lines in this debate. The episode sets the stage for part 2, which will explore the ethical considerations surrounding MAID and euthanasia in greater depth. Levine and Sisti aim to address the broader implications of permitting euthanasia in psychiatric populations, touching on justice, societal values, and the role of clinicians in these life-and-death decisions. Stay tuned for the continuation of this complex and thought-provoking discussion. Relevant studies and documentation mentioned in this episode: Doernberg, Samuel N., John R. Peteet, and Scott YH Kim.
