Euthanasia, Ethics and Public Policy, 2nd Edition, (PDF) argues against the legalization of voluntary euthanasia and/or doctor-assisted suicide on the view that, even when they have been ethically defensible particularly ‘onerous circumstances’, neither may very well be efficiently managed by legislation. It maintains that the expertise of legalization within the Belgium, Netherlands, and Oregon lends backing to the 2 ‘slippery slope’ opinions against legalization, the ‘logical’ and the ’empirical’. The empirical argument challenges the practicality of drafting and implementing sufficient safeguards against abuse and mistake; the logical argument reveals that approval of the case for euthanasia within the case of struggling sufferers who request it logically consists of acceptance of euthanasia for struggling sufferers who’re unable to request it, like infants and these with superior dementia.
