(Photo ' by Joanne Buchanan) Death with Dignity -who decides? An infant born with gross neurological defects-, the _.patient in--_-. deep coma after a traffic accident, the person suffering from a terminal illness with nothing to look forward to but in- creasing discomfort and complicated treatments who decides when heroic efforts to maintain Life should cease? Dr Lawrence' Whytehead, co-author of a report on "Dying: Considerations Con- cerning the Passagetfrom Life to Death" for the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada says, `Quite often it the the doctor that ' first wonders whether or _.not...ee ffor_ts_.to..._continua..ta._ preserve that patient's life should be continued. In that case he ought. to talk with the family and have a full discussion and explain the outlook from then on -for their relative. They will need time to think this over. They should have support from the hospital chaplain or their own minister. .So'it is a joint decision. And that is true also for the infant ,who cannot make. decisions for himself." The 64 page report, the :finaldraft of whish_-w;i-1-1- be presented, to the Anglican Church's National Executive Council in November, deals with several highly - sensitive areas. What is a person? When does a person die? Who decides when life support efforts should cease? Howcan we best. minister to the terminally ill? Preparing for death, and the Christian response to death. Canon Paul Chidwick, th'e • report's other co- author, said, "I suppose worry or anxiety over decisions that have already been made." Dr. Whytehead feels that the primary purpose of the report is to raise questions. "We're not trying to impose predetermined positions on people'," he declared. "It is not a position paper. These questions have to be decided by the individual. I'm not a person who believes, in church dogma - in authoritative decisions given from • on high. Having read this report, people ' may detect guidelines which -tan help --- them make decisions in these medical dilemmas, thesl>urchis_bring�ing the —and.. -•d -es ice• tiaa-t -per-h-alis report out, not that they are expecting anything terribly new , from the Church, because there is such a • tremendous amount 'of literature being written on the .subject. But it is,. in fact, the Church saying something. It is affirming decisions which are being made by doctors and by families. Maybe trying to. help them remove any symptoms of guilt •or in some cases, life sup- port is no longer proper and Christian." The authors hope that the paper will be published and read widely, .. not only by Anglicanso but by other Christians and society at large. Dr. Whytehead added one more hope, "that discussion and comment will be based -on a thorough reading of the report rather than, as IN �.;CIENI()RY".. OF TII()SE Y()tJ II()LD DEAR...
