20.500.12556/DKUM-91046 The right to be ill refusal of medical treatment v. public health in a democracy The right to be ill: refusal of medical treatment v. public health in a democracy Debates regarding health and health care generally involve questions regarding whether there is a right to -either. But in a democracy do individuals have a right to refuse medical treatment? The 2019 Covid pandemic raised this question as democracies sought to balance individuals with medical mandates such as the wearing of masks or vaccines. This article examines that question asking whether there is a right to be ill and to refuse force medical treatment in the case of infectious diseases that are life threatening. The article will conclude that in most cases competent adults have a right to refuse medical treatment and be ill, yet such a right has to be balanced against a host of factors supporting the preservation of the life of others. Razprave o zdravju in zdravstveni oskrbi običajno vključujejo vprašanja o tem, ali imamo pravico do enega ali drugega. Toda ali imajo posamezniki v demokraciji pravico do zavrnitve medicinske obravnave? Vprašanje se je postavilo med pandemijo COVID-19 leta 2019, ko so demokracije iskale ravnovesje med pravicami posameznikov in medicinskimi ukrepi, kot so nošenje mask ali cepljenje. Ta članek preučuje to vprašanje in sprašuje, ali imamo pravico do bolezni in zavrnitve prisilne medicinske obravnave v primeru nalezljivih bolezni, ki ogrožajo življenje. Članek bo zaključil, da imajo v večini primerov kompetentni odrasli posamezniki pravico do zavrnitve medicinske obravnave in pravico do bolezni, vendar se mora takšna pravica uravnotežiti z različnimi dejavniki, ki podpirajo ohranjanje življenja drugih right to be ill right to refuse informed consent democracy pandemics pravica do bolezni pravica do zavrnitve informirano soglasje demokracija pandemije true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2024-10-16 23:19:26 2025-08-28 13:42:50 2025-08-29 03:32:53 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 str. 211-226 no. 2 Vol. 16 Oct. 2023 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2023-10-01 342.7:61 211802115 10.18690/mls.16.2.211-226.2023 2463-7955 https://journals.um.si/index.php/medicine/article/view/3261 1 51bbb799-8c04-11ef-a0d7-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=186592 cervek_m,+1_schultz_(4).pdf cervek_m,+1_schultz_(4).pdf 1 C27B76F4FED1B3C0072C9659D8D211D5 603becfa6de3fc5747efe23081bcda056379577d8bad339b42bd5688b37d0ce9 199bff21-8404-11f0-a712-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=196802 Pravna fakulteta 0 0 0
