Quiz Twenty Two

Question 1

Rachels on euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide

Answer 1

killing and allowing to die are pretty much the same

letting throat cancer guy die could cause more suffering than just giving him a lethal injection

life is being decided on irrelevant grounds such as if the kid has Down’s

MD would get in trouble if he let a pt who was curable die by passive euthanasia simply because they were curable, why doesn’t this always apply

there may be important moral differences in their consequences in some cases but in these cases it may seem as if active euthanasia is preferable
