  1. Medically Assisted Death and the Ends of Medicine.Eric Vogelstein - forthcoming - Journal of Bioethical Inquiry:1-11.
    This paper aims to refute a common line of argument that it is immoral for physicians to engage in medical assistance in death (MAiD), i.e., the practices of euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide. The argument in question is based on the notion that participating in MAiD is contrary to the professional-role obligations of physicians, due to MAiD’s putative inconsistency with the ends of medicine. The paper describes several major flaws from which that argument suffers.

  • Sedacja terminalna, eutanazja oraz funkcje sprawcze sedacji terminalnej.Dieter Birnbacher - 2008 - Acta Universitatis Lodziensis. Folia Philosophica. Ethica-Aesthetica-Practica 21:33-43.
    Autor rozpatruje - w kontekście dyskusji na temat eutanazji - argumenty przemawiające za stosowaniem silnych środków pozwalających uśmierzać ból i cierpienie w fazie terminalnej, jak też przemawiające przeciwko takiemu postępowaniu. W efekcie zestawienia ze sobą jednych i drugich argumentów dojść można do wniosku, że stosowanie środków uśmierzających jest zachowaniem o wiele bardziej wskazanym, aniżeli wspomaganie przy samobójstwie. Nie należy z tego jednak wyprowadzać wniosku, że jest to jedyna moralnie akceptowana opcja. Wniosek, do jakiego dochodzi autor, brzmi mniej więcej następująco: oba (...)

  • Moral Philosophy and Theology: Why is There so Little Difference for Roman Catholics?H. Tristram Engelhardt - 2003 - Christian Bioethics 9 (2-3):315-329.
    The cardinal question in Christian moral theory and bioethics is whether the knowledge that Christians have (1) by grace and (2) by revelation (e.g., regarding the character of human and cosmic history as reaching from creation through the Incarnation and the Redemption to the Second Coming and the restoration of all things) makes a crucial contribution to understanding morality, as for example issues such as the good death and the morality of physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia. This article argues that such (...)

  • Die ärztlich assistierte Selbsttötung und das gesellschaftlich Gute - Physician-assisted suicide and the common good.Roland Kipke - 2015 - Ethik in der Medizin 27 (2):141-154.
    Definition of the problem: The question whether a prohibition of physician-assisted suicide is justifiable plays a prominent role in recent debate about this practice. Many authors argue that assisted suicide is an issue of individual choice, that a prohibition would base on particular conceptions of the good and that such a justification is not acceptable in a liberal society. Arguments: Within the frame of a communitarian approach the article demonstrates that the handling of dying and what physicians are allowed to (...)

    In this chapter, I consider the idea that physician-assisted death might come into question in the cases of psychiatric patients who are incapable of making autonomous choices about ending their lives. I maintain that the main arguments for physician-assisted death found in recent medical ethical literature support physician-assisted death in some of those cases. After assessing several possible criticisms of what I have argued, I conclude that the idea that physicianassisted death can be acceptable in some cases of psychiatric patients (...)

  • “Fatal Practices”: A Feminist Analysis of Physician-Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia.Diane Raymond - 1999 - Hypatia 14 (2):1-25.
    : In this essay, I examine the arguments against physician - assisted suicide Susan Wolf offers in her essay, "Gender, Feminism, and Death : Physician - Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia." I argue that Wolf's analysis of PAS, while timely and instructive in many ways, does not require that feminists reject policy approaches that might permit PAS. The essay concludes with reflections on the relationship between feminism and questions of agency, especially women's agency.

    Während die terminale Sedierung neueren niederländischen Erhebungen zufolge bereits in mehr als 5% aller Sterbefälle zur Leidensminderung am Lebensende angewandt wird, sind viele der durch dieses Verfahren aufgeworfenen begrifflichen und ethischen Fragen weiterhin offen. Kontrovers ist insbesondere die begriffliche Einordnung der Kombination von terminaler Sedierung und Behandlungsabbruch sowie die Frage nach den dafür einschlägigen ethischen Kriterien. Ausgehend von einer Analyse von drei Szenarien mit unterschiedlicher kausaler Rollenverteilung argumentiere ich dafür, den Standardfall der Kombination von terminaler Sedierung und Behandlungsabbruch unter die (...)

  • The notion of “killing”. Causality, intention, and motivation in active and passive euthanasia.Thomas Fuchs - 1998 - Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy 1 (3):245-253.
    As a new approach to the still unsettled problem of a morally significant difference between active and passive euthanasia, the meanings of the notion of killing are distinguished on the levels of causality, intention, and motivation. This distinction allows a thorough analysis and refutation of arguments for the equality of killing and letting die which are often put forward in the euthanasia debate. Moreover, an investigation into the structure of the physician's action on those three levels yields substantial differences between (...)
