Changing Demographics

More people than ever before are being incarcerated in the United States. Many inmates are infected with HIV and hepatitis C. Sentences are increasing in length. Prison health care is now having to cope with the many chronic illnesses associated with an ill and aging population. The growth of end-of-life care programs in corrections in the United States is a direct result of the changing demographics of inmates. This article examines the need for end-of-life care behind bars and discusses selected hospice programs.

Physician Assisted Suicide

Voluntary active euthanasia (VAE) and physician-assisted suicide (PAS) remain technically illegal in the Netherlands, but the practices are openly tolerated provided that physicians adhere to carefully constructed guidelines. Harsh criticism of the Dutch practice by authors in the United States and Great Britain has made achieving a balanced understanding of its clinical, moral, and policy implications very difficult. Similar practice patterns probably exist in the United States, but they are conducted in secret because of a more uncertain legal and ethical climate. In this manuscript, we plan to compare end-of-life care in the United States and the Netherlands with regard to underlying values, justifications, and practices. We will explore the risks and benefits of each system for a real patient who was faced with a common end-of-life clinical dilemma, and close with challenges for public policies in both countries.
