“…Taken together, these two positions were endorsed by a majority of the lay people (51%) and by practically all the nurses and physicians (85%). This result was consistent with previous findings on Romanian lay persons' overall opposition to euthanasia (Cohen et al, 2014) and with findings among health professionals conducted in different countries (Kpanake et al, 2014;Teisseyre et al, 2005;Teisseyre, Vanraet, Sorum, & Mullet 2010). In Romania as in other countries, most health professionals may have felt the necessity to conform, in their responses, to current legislation.…”

The conditions under which Physician-Assisted-Suicide (PAS) would be considered as acceptable among Romanians were examined. In July 2015-May 2016, 212 lay people and 52 health professionals judged the acceptability of PAS in 36 realistic vignettes composed of all combinations of four factors: the patient’s age, the level of incurability of the illness, the type of suffering, and the patient’s request for PAS. A majority of lay people (51%) and health professionals (85%) were opposed to PAS, quite irrespective of conditions. The most important factors determining acceptability were, for 36% of lay people, request for PAS and, for 18%, advanced age.

The anticipated birth of an extremely low gestational age (<25 weeks) infant presents many difficult questions, and variations in practice continue to exist. Decisions regarding care of periviable infants should ideally be well informed, ethically sound, consistent within medical teams, and consonant with the parents’ wishes. Each health care institution should consider having policies and procedures for antenatal counseling in these situations. Family counseling may be aided by the use of visual materials, which should take into consideration the intellectual, cultural, and other characteristics of the family members. Although general recommendations can guide practice, each situation is unique; thus, decision-making should be individualized. In most cases, the approach should be shared decision-making with the family, guided by considering both the likelihood of death or morbidity and the parents’ desires for their unborn child. If a decision is made not to resuscitate, providing comfort care, encouraging family bonding, and palliative care support are appropriate.
