Abstract:
This dissertation takes as its central topic visual narratives in Death with Dignity Storytelling and posits the author’s ideas of a beautiful death and the heard gaze. Its methodology includes a textual analysis of such images, which in turn leads to a typology, and the use of a digital tool to “sum images” to test the veracity of the typology. What creates the impulse to look at images of pain, suffering the withering body, the compulsion to bear witness to misery? That question is in part answered by Sontag (2003) Regarding the Pain of Others—“we are spectators of calamities” (p. 18)—and is evident in the indefinite pronoun that hangs at the end of the slim volume’s title. Because it is in those others, that we see ourselves. A Beautiful Death: Visual Representation in Death With Dignity Storytelling considers two case studies as examination and proofs of its claims.

Abstract:
As aid-in-dying legislation expands across the United States, this study examines the dynamics influencing participation in Oregon’s Death with Dignity Act. In addition to data from secondary sources, this thesis analyzes field research data collected in Oregon, including 14 in-depth interviews with volunteers and employees of two advocacy organizations at the center of legalized physician-assisted death. Themes emerged including the conditions that motivate participation, the importance of both personal and professional autonomy, the significance of a good death, and the growth of open dialogues about end of life choices. This thesis concludes with a discussion of the impact Death with Dignity laws could have across the United States, with a specific focus on the state of Tennessee.

Abstract:
Oregon voters legalized physician-assisted death in 1997 by passing the Oregon Death with Dignity Act. This law allowed terminally ill, mentally competent adult residents of the state to legally obtain a physician's prescription to hasten death under narrow sets of circumstances. The purpose of this study was twofold: to examine contemporary patterns of support for the law in Oregon and to explore how opinions have changed over time on the issue. This study examined patterns of public support among a random sample of registered Oregon voters for the state's death with dignity law, using a mixed mode (mail, online, and phone) cross-sectional survey (n = 442). The findings indicate a pattern of growing support with potential Oregon voters split 80%-20% on the issue, a substantial increase from the 60%-40% approval margin at the ballot box in 1997. Various demographic variables, as well as attitudinal factors, were explored in building a binary logistic regression model predicting probability of support. Frequency of church attendance, views about physician participation in the process, and opinions about Death with Dignity as an individual right were significant predictors of support. Frequent churchgoers, regardless of denomination or religious tradition, were nearly five times more likely to oppose Death with Dignity than support it, holding all other variables constant. While the findings indicate a pattern of growth in support over the past 15 years, they indicate also a stability of opinion, with few individuals indicating they had changed their opinions about the issue since the first time they encountered it.

Abstract:
Since passing its Death with Dignity Act into law in 1997, Oregon remains the only state in America to make physician-assisted suicide an explicit legal right. Currently, the legality of physician-assisted suicide falls under the jurisdiction of each individual state. Had the United States Supreme Court ruled differently in a recent case, however, the issue would have transferred to federal jurisdiction. The Death with Dignity National Center (DDNC) takes responsibility for developing the original Death with Dignity Act and has since moved on to proposing similar legislation in other states. It also champions statesâ rights, fearing that placing physician-assisted suicide under federal jurisdiction would severely hinder its goals. The DDNC has led the legal movement for making physician-assisted suicide an end of life choice available in each state, as well as for keeping that decision at the state level. Utilizing a content analysis, this study coded for frames used by the DDNC in its press releases and frames used in newspaper coverage of death with dignity across the same period of time. It was found that press releases about and newspaper coverage of the death with dignity social movement shared significant correlations in terms of the frames each used, as well as the level of substance given to these frames. Few significant correlations were found, however, for frame valence. It seems as though discussion of this social movement utilizes the same substantive or ambiguous frames, but cannot decide whether these frames are positive, neutral, or negative.

In this thesis, I am going to explore some of the significant legal and medical activities that have had a great influence on the healthcare delivery in the United States of America, focusing on the care of people that are severely sick or those whose death is imminent. Then I will discuss how the application of virtues, particularly the cardinal virtues, can inspire people not to neglect the needs of patients whenever some helpful procedures could be done, and also to enable people to desist from engaging in medical procedures that could be deemed futile. Patients and their caregivers can all benefit from cultivating virtue and hence create a way of life that respects the human dignity of patients and also uses the available resources prudently for the sake of the common good. Ultimately, I hope to suggest some theologically sound proposals that are helpful to a patient, the patient’s family and the rest of the country’s health system, with a particular focus on an ethical way of delivering healthcare services. I will show how the developments in the Western world can be applied to develop some protocols of healthcare delivery that could be helpful to Kenya. It is my belief that the universal applicability of virtues can ensure that healthcare activities uphold the human dignity of patients, provide respect for healthcare work, and also use a country’s limited resources prudently

Abstract:
Oregon’s Death with Dignity Act: An Evidenced-Based Approach to Improving End-of-Life Healthcare in Tennessee Erin E. Mauck, MA Community and Behavioral Health, College of Public Health East Tennessee State University Johnson City, TN The legalization of physician-assisted death has been shown to improve the quality of end-of-life healthcare in the states that have passed Death with Dignity or End-of-Life Care Acts. The state of Oregon passed its Death with Dignity Act in 1994, and it is a model that has been replicated in Washington, Vermont, California, Colorado, and Washington D.C. In a national ranking of states in the areas of long-term services and supports for end-of-life care, five of the top nine were states with either a Death with Dignity or End-of-Life Care Act. This is not merely a coincidence. This data is a clear reflection that having legislation which clarifies the rights of a dying individual, impacts end-of-life healthcare in a positive way. Tennessee is currently ranked 47th nationally based on the following criteria: affordability and access, choice of settings and provider, quality of life and quality of care, support for family caregivers, and effective transitions. There are three major determinants that impact Tennessee’s poorly rated end-of-life health care. The first determinant is the limited use of advanced directives, living wills and patient-physician discussions about death, dying, and end-of-life healthcare choices. The second determinant is lack of coverage for the uninsured and less affluent. End-of-life healthcare is not strictly for individuals over the age of 65, terminal illness can impact the life of someone, regardless of age, income, or health insurance status. The third major determinant that is negatively impacting Tennessee’s end-of-life health care, is the lack of a Death with Dignity or End-of-Life Care Act. Data has been collected over the past 36 months, including data from secondary sources and field research data collected in Oregon, including 14 in-depth interviews with volunteers, employees, and the directors of two advocacy organizations at the center of Oregon’s Death with Dignity Act. The analysis of this data shows that states which have enacted Death with Dignity Acts, have better end-of-life care than states that have not. This includes the use of hospice and palliative care at the end of life, and the percentage of people who die at home. When a law that legalizes physician-assisted death is being considered, everyone, including citizens of the state, state policy makers, and healthcare professionals take notice. This encourages the public education of end-of-life healthcare options, as well as promotes further education in end-of-life care for all health professionals. In Tennessee, efficient and regulated end-of-life care is becoming more essential as the population increases, and life expectancy is extended.

Abstract:
Les soins palliatifs semblent en crise entre care et cure. Si leur émergence est apparue comme une nécessité devant le scandale humain que constituait l’abandon du malade en fin de vie, considéré au même titre que la mort comme honteux dans les années 1970, leur philosophie n’a pas pu toujours s’imposer comme suffisante. La discipline, dont la bénévolence et l’utilité ne sont plus à démontrer, se heurte à des freins psycho-sociaux internes et externes du fait de leur objet même : le mourant. Leur parfois « trop grande assurance » dans leur bien-fondé ne pourrait-elle pas relever d’une honte déniée se renversant dans son contraire ? Et la difficulté à se faire reconnaître comme médecine digne ne pourrait-elle pas se fonder sur un conflit épistémologique entre science médicale qui ne connaît pas la honte et sciences humaines qui peuvent l’analyser. Sachant que cette difficulté pour les soins palliatifs à se faire reconnaître semblerait également s’exacerber du fait d’un contexte social où la performance et la rentabilité constituent les fondements de l’organisation sociale. Il y a en effet dans notre société néolibérale une grande difficulté à apprécier dignes inconditionnellement le corps abîmé, la dépendance, la souffrance et l’agonie devenue savoir médical. La honte désigne plus souvent dans le langage courant le scandale et l’opprobre alors qu’elle entretient un lien avec la dignité, la pudeur et la culpabilité. Si elle est classiquement entendue comme un affect négatif duquel il serait légitime de se libérer, ce n’est plus possible dans la confrontation à la fin de vie. La honte est un phénomène bien présent dans la clinique palliative et pourtant elle ne peut se dire, se nommer et encore moins s’accepter. Traversant toutes les couches de l’étant humain (autrement dit du Dasein en terme heideggérien) des plus superficielles aux plus profondes jusqu’à atteindre l’inassumable de l’être dévoilé dans sa nudité première, ne serait-elle pas motrice des deux polarités du monde ? Elle se love dans le pire de la dégradation pour peut-être permettre une ouverture à une possible expérience ontologique thérapeutique. La reconnaissance d’une honte ontologique au même titre qu’une dignité ontologique permettrait de désigner une dignité hontologique, terme oxymorique faisant sens pour un accompagnement authentiquement fraternel. Une dignité hontologique permettrait-elle à notre société de mieux élaborer le clivage toujours persistant entre un accompagnement solidaire et une mort donnée et peut-être érigerait-elle mieux les soins palliatifs comme discipline digne travaillant de concert avec la techno-science
Palliative care is in crisis between care and cure. If their emergence appeared as a necessity in the face of the human scandal of abandoning the patient at the end of their life, considered in the same way as death as shameful in the 1970s, their philosophy could not always be sufficient. The discipline, whose volunteerism and usefulness are well established, faces internal and external psycho-social brakes because of their very purpose: the dying person. Could not their sometimes "too great assurance" in their merit, be a denied shame, which reverses in to its opposite? And the difficulty of being recognized as a worthy medicine could not be based on an epistemological conflict between medical science that does not know shame and human sciences that can analyze it. Knowing that this difficulty for palliative care to be recognized would also seem to be exacerbated by a social context where performance and profitability are the foundations of social organization. There is indeed in our neoliberal society a great difficulty to appreciate unconditionally the worth of the damaged body, of dependence, suffering and agony in becoming medical knowledge. Shame more often denotes scandal and opprobrium in every language when it is linked to dignity, modesty and guilt. If it is classically understood as a negative affect from which it will be legitimate to free oneself, it is no longer possible in the confrontation at the end of life. Shame is a phenomenon that is very present in the palliative clinic and yet it cannot be said, to name oneself and even less to accept oneself. Crossing all the layers of the human being (in other words, Dasein in Heideggerian terms), from the most superficial to the deepest, until reaching the unbearable being unveiled in its primary nudity, would it not be the driving force of both polarities of the world ? It is the worst degradation which perhaps allowsan opening to a possible therapeutic ontological experience. The recognition of an ontological shame in the same way as an ontological dignity would make it possible to designate a hontological dignity, an oxymoronic term that makes sense for an authentically fraternal accompaniment. Would a moral dignity allow our society to better elaborate the ever-lasting division between supportive care and a given death, and perhaps make palliative care a worthy discipline working in tandem with techno-sciences

Abstract:
The model of a woman expected in health services is as follows: adult, mother, and heterosexual. Any woman who breaks this pattern is invisibilized or goes through services that are not adequate for her particular demands. Most of the time, lesbian women go unnoticed in health services, and the identification of their sexual orientation does not occur directly, in consultations with the women, but by the identification of others of characteristics considered as male gender, such as short hair, masculine way of walking, and type of clothes. Objective: This study aims to understand the meanings attributed by a lesbian couple to the discrimination suffered in health services. Methodology: This is a qualitative, cross-sectional, descriptive, exploratory study that had gender studies as theoretical references. One woman with breast cancer and her partner participated. An in-depth interview was conducted with each of the participants and, subsequently, the data were analyzed and discussed from the perspective of the inductive thematic content analysis. Results: The participants reported more than one experience of discrimination with the health professionals they encountered throughout the cancer treatment: sexist comments, invisibilization, and denial of the relationship of the two as a couple, among others. It can be said that women are taught, since they are born, to be mothers, to take care of others, and to “give pleasure to the other.” Thus, the sexuality of women is denied, repressed, and feared. These gaps invisibilize lesbianities within the healthcare system. Conclusion: The findings of this study also allow us to look toward the health issues of lesbian women, whose vulnerabilities are amplified by the need to defend their dissident identities and sexualities when they are in contact with health services. Fighting the inequities experienced by lesbian women in the health sector is a challenge for the effective implementation of health rights, with respect to citizenship and dignity.

Abstract:
There is a severe global learning crisis. While nearly all children start school, far too many do not learn even the most foundational skills of reading, writing, and basic mathematics during the years they spend there. The urgent need to address this crisis requires no elaborate reasoning. If one starts with love for a child, a human universal, it is easy to see that in the modern world a child’s dignity, self-worth, and freedom to define their own destiny require an adequate education. An adequate education is what will then enable that child to lead a full adult life as a parent, community member, citizen, and worker in the 21st century. To enable every child to leave school with the foundational skills they need will require fundamental changes to education systems. Since 2015, the Research on Improving Systems of Education (RISE) Programme, with which we are affiliated, has been conducting research exploring how to make these changes through country research teams in seven countries (Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Tanzania, and Vietnam) and crosscutting teams on the political economy of education reform. Drawing on the cumulative body of research on learning outcomes and systems of education in the developing world, both from the RISE Programme and other sources, we advocate for five key actions to drive system transformation. (See next page.) A message cutting across all five actions is “focus to flourish”. Education systems have been tremendously successful at achieving specific educational goals, such as expanding schooling, because that is what they committed to, that is what they measured, that is what they were aligned for, and that is what they supported. In order to achieve system transformation for learning, systems must focus on learning and then act accordingly. Only after a system prioritises learning from among myriad competing educational goals can it dedicate the tremendous energies necessary to succeed at improving learning. The research points to these five actions as a means to chart a path out of the learning crisis and toward a future that offers foundational skills to all children. The first section that follows provides background on the depth and nature of the learning crisis. The remainder of the document explains each of the five actions in turn, synthesising the research that informs each action, contrasting that action with the prevailing status quo, and describing what the action would entail in practice.
