Birth can be “eugenic”, but how can death be “eugenic”?

“Family planning and eugenics are our basic national policy, which is about the “beginning” of life; what about the “end” of life – death? – What about death? How to make the patient’s body as painless as possible, the mind as peaceful as possible, and finish the last journey of life with dignity? First, we should pay attention to any symptoms and discomfort of the patient, especially to relieve pain. It is not uncommon to hear patients say, “I am not afraid of death, but don’t make me endure this severe pain anymore!” The International Academy of Pain Management (IASP) has long been a leader in the field of pain management. The International Academy of Pain (IASP) has long stated that pain relief is a basic right of the patient! Second, respect the patient’s personality. The patient’s privacy must be protected; he has the right to know the condition, the treatment plan, the cost of medical treatment and the prognosis, and the right to request and refuse a certain treatment plan. Third, the fair and reasonable allocation of medical resources, to avoid “no benefit, no harm” or even “no benefit, harmful” excessive treatment, to maintain social equity, reflecting the medical public interest. Fourth, we should choose the right time and way to formally discuss the impending death among patients, their families and medical personnel, so that patients can face the reality of their illness, express their opinions on the treatment and rescue measures in the terminal or dying stage, choose the place and way to pass away, make a “living will” and arrange the afterlife.
