Does a competent person suffering from a terminal illness or
enduring an otherwise burdensome existence, who considers his life
no longer of value but is incapable of ending it, have a right to
be helped to die? Should someone for whom further medical treatment
would be futile be allowed to die regardless of expressing a
preference to be given all possible treatment? These are some of
the questions that are asked and answered in this wide-ranging
discussion of both the morality of medically assisted death and the
justifiability of making certain instances legal. A case is offered
in support of the moral and legal permissibility of specified
instances of medically assisted death, along with responses to the
main objections that have been levelled against it. The
philosophical argument is bolstered by empirical evidence from The
Netherlands and Oregon where voluntary euthanasia and
physician-assisted suicide are already legal.
