Beschreibung
The researcher believes that James Rachelss defense of active euthanasia deserves a critical and normative analysis because of its dehumanizing consequences. The researcher demonstrates that Rachelss position is conceptually, theoretically, practically, and normatively unjustifiable. The researcher concludes that Rachelss categorization of active and passive euthanasia into killing and letting die is a false dichotomy. The researcher argues throughout the research that the third and the only choice is to stop prolongation of death by advanced medical technology and permitting termination of extraordinary medical care from dying person by following legitimate procedures.
