Ethics
was the first graduate course I had taken when I went back to obtain a graduate
degree in mental health counseling. Ethics seems like an easy thing: do the
right thing, don’t cause harm.
Life
is so large that it would be impossible to list every possible ethical situation
in one book. So, there are generalized guidelines. Of course there are laws
too.
I
was assigned to a four-person team to do a research project on the rights to
die.
It
is a very difficult topic.
Personally,
I would not want to live on machines.
However,
I do not feel comfortable making that decision for another person.
Recreational
therapists who work with hospice, in nursing homes, or with people who are
terminally ill may want to read this article about Brittany Maynard who was an
advocate for the right to die with dignity
