Another way to describe the events are, “…medical technology, even when it cannot cure or relieve or purchase a further, if short-term, lease on a worthwhile life, can still put off the terminal event of death beyond the point where the patient himself may value the life thus prolonged, or even is still capable of any valuing at all” (Jonas 31). This problem means that even without the treatment the patient will suffer nevertheless, and thus cause additional problems other than the physical pain involved. This type of trauma can cause psychological issues such as depression. In conclusion, this depression leads to a lack of dignity and pride in themselves, they view their life as an embarrassment.
