How Should We Then Die?
Euthanasia makes a lot of sense. At least in our culture at this time, it makes intuitive sense that those who are ill without hope for a cure or those who are in pain without likelihood of relief ought to be able to choose to end their own lives. Our culture assumes there are few higher virtues than autonomy and that an individual’s self-government should extend even to matters of life and death. Hence we see the rising acceptance and legalization of euthanasia all throughout the West, though it comes in the form of a number of variations and euphemisms—physician-assisted death, physician assisted-suicide, medical assistance in dying (MAiD), and so on.See AlsoA La Carte (July 3)A La Carte (April 16)A La Carte (February 27)
