Physician-Assisted Dying: A Slippery Slope?

Thursday, April 3
3:30pm - 5:00pm
Teams link
Add to Google Cal,Outlook,Yahoo,iCal

Some opponents of physician-assisted dying (PAD) argue legalizing PAD inevitably creates a slippery slope to unacceptable uses, and therefore should be rejected. Others regard PAD as acceptable, but only if the eligibility conditions are quite restrictive, including terminal illness and physical disease, and the rejection of euthanasia. Canada has expanded its eligibility conditions, including (in the future) PAD where the sole condition is psychiatric illness. I argue that the problems with psychiatric PAD are greater when combined with the rights-based approach, taken by Canada.
