二十一世紀的內戰 安樂死之倫理法律爭議 楊秀儀 First presented on 2002/12/9 Latest revised on 4/22/2008 西班牙婦女獲准安樂死 拔除人工呼吸器 2007.03.16　 中央社 ????西班牙安達魯西亞地方官員今天表示，患肌肉萎縮症的婦女艾奇瓦利亞獲准安樂死兩週之後，醫生已經拔除她賴以維生的人工呼吸器。 ????安達魯西亞地方政府三月一日裁定艾奇瓦利亞的安樂死要求，符合二零零二年允許意識清楚的病患可以拒絕接受治療的法律。 ????艾奇瓦利亞童年開始即飽受肌肉萎縮症之苦，幾乎完全癱瘓，過去十年她一直困在教會醫院病床。 ????醫生昨天在格瑞那達市公立醫院，拔除她的人工呼吸器。政府發出聲明說，醫生晚間九時宣告艾奇瓦利亞死亡，聲明中指出死因為肌肉萎縮症。 ????艾奇瓦利亞去年十一月要求當局允許她選擇「有尊嚴和無痛苦的」死亡，並以空虛形容她的生命。 ????她補充說：「我受夠了這樣的生活，倚靠他人才能活下去的生活。我希望打一針，讓我的心臟停止跳動。」 ????國家報今天刊登艾奇瓦利亞的長篇專訪，她表示二十七年來，每天都想尋死。 ????艾奇瓦利亞並非特例，只因為社會高度矚目，使得安樂死爭議再度成為爭議焦點。 ????「西班牙死亡權自主協會」以「有勇氣」讚揚當局三月一日的決定，並希望這個案例可以創下一個先例。960315 A Poet Crusades for the Right to Die His Way --Italy .

I am neither melancholic nor manic-depressive. I find the idea of dying horrible. But what is left to me is no longer a life.” 拒絕治療？/協助自殺？ Mr. Welby 要求醫師先施打藥物，讓他陷入深度昏迷後，然後拔除呼吸器。 He says he is not seeking to commit suicide but to remove himself from medical treatment he does not want. What is natural about a hole in the belly and a pump that fills it with fats and proteins?” “What is natural about a hole in the windpipe and a pump that blows air into the lungs?” “What is natural about a body kept biologically functional with the help of artificial respirators, artificial feed, artificial hydration, artificial intestinal emptying, of death artificially postponed?” 教廷雖然也反對人工延長壽命，支
