Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2018/Assisted dying motivation

Term
Wondering if the term "euthanasia" should be used or maybe instead "voluntary assisted dying"? Let me know if you want it swapped over. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 07:52, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

I like this topic choice, very relevant today. I like the layout you've chosen however there is limit information on it so far. --U3158773 (discuss • contribs) 01:53, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Great topic! Very relevant. We have a powerful movement arguing for the legalization of euthanasia. You should check out the book "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1377592/ - Euthanasia Examined: Ethical, Clinical and Legal Perspectives]" by John Keown. The book comprises 18 essays which consider euthanasia from an ethical, clinical, legal (and theological) point of view. It is a little old but some great information, well written, and easy to follow and understand. Lots of great peer reviews on it also adding to the debate. --Lucy Hanrahan (discuss • contribs) 23:43, 1 September 2018 (UTC)Lucy Hanrahan

I think you have a really good outline of topics and you will be able to create a book chapter that provides a good understanding of the topic. Maybe you could talk about the motivation behind why people are motivated to fight the euthanasia laws?-- Joog 17 (discuss • contribs) 12:30, 02 September 2018 (UTC)

Nice use of the painting 'The Death of Socrates'; a subtle history reference to a heavy topic. YL Mariano (discuss • contribs) 04:57, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi, just a reminder to insert a hanging indent in your references section. The motivation and emotion discussion page has the code if you need; https://uclearn.canberra.edu.au/courses/5330/discussion_topics/35390. Thanks --U3154928 (discuss • contribs) 05:56, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi! just bolded your reference for figure 1, just to bring to your attention that you don't have to reference that because the image has that information in it already :) and then it doesn't add to your word limit! looking really good though, I like your text boxes :) --MaddieCarleton (discuss • contribs) 05:53, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Helpful sources
Hi, I'm Simon, I'm working on the behavioural automaticity book chapter. Found some links that might help with your research:

- Assisted dying in dementia: a systematic review of the international literature on the attitudes of health professionals, patients, carers and the public, and the factors associated with these - https://canberra.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/fulldisplay?docid=wj10.1002%2Fgps.4169&context=PC&vid=61ARL_CNB:61ARL_CNB&lang=en&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&adaptor=Primo%20Central&tab=Everything&query=any,contains,quotes%20from%20assisted%20dying%20patients&sortby=rank&mode=Basic

- Legalising assisted dying puts vulnerable patients at risk and doctors must speak up - https://canberra.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/fulldisplay?docid=jstor_archive_2923495196&context=PC&vid=61ARL_CNB:61ARL_CNB&lang=en&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&adaptor=Primo%20Central&tab=Everything&query=any,contains,quotes%20from%20assisted%20dying%20patients&mode=Basic

(Assisted dying is obviously an ethical issue and this might provide some public insight on that.

Suggestion for topic questions
Hi there. Well done on your book chapter so far. I have a suggestion for your focus questions. I think making them shorter and more broad would be beneficial. For example, you have "What is euthanasia? Typology of euthanasia?" perhaps consider changing this to "What is euthanasia?". --BB7897 (discuss • contribs) 01:21, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Some questions
asked these questions via email:
 * 1) Would it be appropriate for me to discuss about motivational theories of suicide when writing the book chapter as I have found a lot of overlaps in motivational predictors in people expressing suicidal ideations and patients with desires to hasten death?
 * 2) * Yes, since assisted dying is essentially suicide using external assistance
 * 3) I have also found research indicating that physical pain could have an impact on patients' requests for euthanasia. So would it mean that pain is seen as an extrinsic motivation in this case?
 * 4) * Yes, I imagine that it is probably a key motivator - whether pain is an intrinsic or extrinsic motivator is a tricky - I would have thought that it was intrinsic - although relief from pain perhaps could be seen as extrinsic (a negative reinforcer)?
 * 5) In regards to the multimedia presentation, would it be necessary to put a disclaimer at the beginning of my video since this could be seen as a sensitive topic?
 * 6) * Optional - not required, but could be added. Perhaps add something like this in the description field. The idea is to provide a factual summary of academic knowledge about the topic - e.g., it is not intended as a clinical intervention, hence optional.

Hope this helps. Sincerely, James. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 03:16, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
