Paradigm Shift on Euthanasia: Needed to Reduce Angst, Guilt & Suicide
Journal: Open Access Journal of Veterinary Science & Research (Vol.6, No. 2)Publication Date: 2021-05-04
Abstract
We can alleviate our moral stress, personal torment and anxiety if we view ourselves as “Mother Nature's Helping Hand” while performing our role during euthanasia. Society has accepted a very sad paradigm with fixed ideas about euthanasia. However, if we can “re-wire” those fixed ideas in society, with a paradigm shift, we will lift a heart-wrenching social burden off our shoulders, and replace it with a much- needed consoling comfort. This new thinking would help ease the emotional upset of end of life decision making for pet lovers, our staff and our professional colleagues.
