Ramos et al. paper offers a narrative review of Spanish Organic Law 3/2021, which regulates euthanasia, focusing on its application to individuals with mental disorders. Ramos et al. examine the application of legal prerequisites from an ethical-legal perspective to ascertain the conditions under which psychiatric euthanasia might be considered legitimate and compliant with legal stipulations. Nevertheless, it is apparent that the core ethical inquiries linked to this matter have not been exhaustively investigated. The criteria laid out are, in our assessment, still open to further debate and broader deliberation. Our article emphasizes the need for a comprehensive ethical and legal debate in Spain regarding psychiatric euthanasia. Competency assessment is central to the legislation, but there are concerns about the validity of assessment tools and the subjective nature of interviews. Furthermore, defining irreversible suffering in mental health contexts poses challenges. The article advocates for a deeper understanding of the needs of individuals with mental disorders before considering euthanasia and emphasizes the importance of comprehensive care and psychosocial interventions in reducing the desire for euthanasia. Ultimately, it underscores the ethical complexities of euthanasia in mental health and the necessity of prioritizing comprehensive care in addressing these complexities.

西班牙精神障碍患者和辅助死亡实践:回应拉莫斯等人。

拉莫斯等人。论文对西班牙组织法 3/2021 进行了叙述性评论,该法规范安乐死,重点关注其对精神障碍患者的适用。拉莫斯等人。从道德-法律角度审查法律先决条件的适用情况,以确定在什么条件下精神病安乐死可以被视为合法并符合法律规定。然而,显然与此事相关的核心道德调查尚未得到彻底调查。根据我们的评估,所制定的标准仍然有待进一步辩论和更广泛的审议。我们的文章强调西班牙需要就精神病安乐死进行全面的伦理和法律辩论。能力评估是立法的核心,但人们对评估工具的有效性和面试的主观性感到担忧。此外,在心理健康背景下定义不可逆转的痛苦也带来了挑战。该文章主张在考虑安乐死之前更深入地了解精神障碍患者的需求,并强调综合护理和心理社会干预对于减少安乐死愿望的重要性。最终,它强调了精神健康领域安乐死的伦理复杂性,以及优先考虑综合护理来解决这些复杂性的必要性。
