초록
People do not recognize death during daily life. Their minds are full of wishes to be immortal, which are expressed as every measure for health promotion. In truth, deaths are nearly as unique as the lives that came before them. A death seems good if a person dies on his own terms, relatively free from pain, in a supported and dignified setting. In terms of social health care system, the categorical imperative “Do the right thing for the right reason” must be strongly considered. Some did the right thing for the wrong reason. The wrong reasons are mostly related to the utilitarianism, normative ethics holding that the proper course of action is the one that maximizes utility, especially considering cost-effectiveness. In any way, meaning itself is not in the death but in the life so that we can live more meaningful life as soon as we recognizes good death.
Abstract
People do not recognize death during daily life. Their minds are full of wishes to be immortal, which are expressed as every measure for health promotion. In truth, deaths are nearly as unique as the lives that came before them. A death seems good if a person dies on his own terms, relatively free from pain, in a supported and dignified setting. In terms of social health care system, the categorical imperative “Do the right thing for the right reason” must be strongly considered. Some did the right thing for the wrong reason. The wrong reasons are mostly related to the utilitarianism, normative ethics holding that the proper course of action is the one that maximizes utility, especially considering cost-effectiveness. In any way, meaning itself is not in the death but in the life so that we can live more meaningful life as soon as we recognizes good death.
