People in serious illness, crises, suffering and grief are
particularly vulnerable in their reliance on the support and help
of others. Therefore, all full-time and voluntary workers involved
should always reflect ethically on their offers and their actions
towards them in order not to "run over" them in their dependency,
not to exploit them or even to enrich themselves with them. It is
always important to respect the values of the sick, suffering
person, to respect his dignity. Practiced ethics lead to pausing in
everyday life and then to systematic, discursive reflection on the
often opposing values of care and autonomy. Doing no additional
damage to sufferers should be taken for granted, but everyone knows
counterexamples. Special ethical challenges arise in the treatment
and support of suffering people with regard to fairness in the
distribution of resources, for example with people from other
cultures, with seriously ill people whose hope is to be supported
without senseless (possibly self-paid) treatment attempts, as well
in observing the wishes of the dying. And how does the volunteer
companion deal with cross-border behavior in interaction? What
ethical considerations are important when advising believers of
other religions? This booklet is dedicated to the importance of
ethics in counseling, support and treatment of suffering people.
