Fundamental questions of clinical ethics with focus on quality and quantity of life
STRÁSKÝ, Marek
This work focuses on basic issues of clinical ethics. These questions mainly concern bioethical principles and the contradictions between them, which are the main topics discussed in the first part. It also discusses the factors that must be taken into account in cases of clinical ethics in order to achieve the stated goal of medical care. In the second part, this work combines knowledge and relevant areas of clinical ethics with social work. Above all, it focuses on two areas of social work: work with elderly and palliative care, in which this connection is most clear. This section also touches on topics of euthanasia, dystanasia, and assisted suicide, which are some of the most discussed topics in clinical ethics. In the third part, this work discusses one of the most significant and current contradictions: the question of balancing the quality and quantity of life, in cases where these two areas contradict each other. Following this, it analyzes the dimensions of quality of life, methods of measuring quality of life and their practical use.
