摘要: 安宁缓和医疗条例为我国关于实施维生医疗之主要规范,惟因安宁缓和医疗条例中明文限缩唯有末期病人始得签署意愿书作维生医疗抉择,无非造成非末期而倚赖维生医疗之病人,解释上即无权自主决定作维生医疗抉择。为确保立法良善目的之实现,本文搜集国内外相关经验、司法判决及学者专家之意见,探讨关于非末期病人而倚赖维生医疗者究竟是否适法有权作维生医疗抉择,以及为避免权利遭致滥用之限制条件。综析研究结果,本文进一步对于维生医疗之相关配套制度提出修法建议,例如建立监督机制,期盼任何人均能够在生命临终之际得到真正的尊严及安宁。
Hospice Palliative Care Act (hereinafter referred to as the Act) is the main regulation of life-sustaining treatments in Taiwan. While the Act narrowed the applicable subjects’ scope to terminal illness patients, it excluded the patients who suffered from non-terminal illness from the right to refuse life-sustaining treatments. To ensure the purpose of the Act comes into effect, the thesis discusses other countries’ legislation, legal judgments, and scholars' opinions on whether non-terminal illness patients who relied on life-sustaining treatment should be able to decide on receiving or refusing life-sustaining treatments, and limitations on the rights to avoid abuse. Based on the analysis, the thesis recommends the legislators to establish the supporting measures, such as the supervision system, in hopes of helping everyone embrace real peace and dignity during last days of life.
