Euthanasia.
Yes thats the subject of our study in CHS(Community Health Sciences) rotation. Euthanasia is something surrounded by clouds of controversy. We intend to shed a little light on it in a Pakistani population. Never before has it been studied in Pakistan so we are the pioneers; the trend setters. Having said all this I must say it is not an easy task that lies ahead of us. We are already running short of time due to Eid holidays. Adding to this is the absence, be it in person or interest, of many of my group mates. I don't understand why we the muslims are so lazy and otiose. Always looking for excuses to run away from work, thats our attitude towards life. Responsibility as a concept is missing from our lives.Anyways adversities are there to deter us but we must learn to fight them.
Our project is basically a Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices of Euthanasia in the Physicians and medical students of The Aga Khan University. We would like to know what these help despensers know about the subject and how they view it in light of their cultural values as well as religious beliefs. Does working in a setup where you deal with lot of terminally ill patients makes them pro euthanasia or they start thinking otherwise. WHat is their plan of action when they are faced with tough decisions like ending a life for the scarcity of resources.
Well we plan to be comprehensive and we plan to achieve our targets. The report will be out in a month's time so I will update InshaAllah.
