Abstract

Abstract The main aim of the presented paper is to look for an answer as to whether and how euthanasia reflected is in ethics of social consequences. Ethics of social consequences is a contemporary Slovak ethical theory with an original approach to delimitating moral agency. The paper puts this definition to the test while considering the main focus of the paper – responding to the question of whether euthanasia and end of life can be understood as a moral uncertainty. The intention is to find out whether the definition is clear and adequate to withstand the basic arguments against euthanasia. Since ethics of social consequences is a consequentialist ethical theory, another partial goal is to analyse the fitness of such a position to be used in bioethical inquires.

安乐死作为一个伦理问题的社会后果?

提出的论文的主要目的是寻找一个答案，是否以及如何反映安乐死是在伦理的社会后果。社会后果伦理学是当代斯洛伐克的一种伦理理论，它以一种独创的方法来界定道德代理。本文对这一定义进行了检验，同时考虑到本文的主要焦点——回答安乐死和生命终结是否可以被理解为道德不确定性的问题。其目的是找出安乐死的定义是否清晰，是否足以经得起反对安乐死的基本论点。由于社会后果伦理学是一种结果主义伦理理论，另一个部分目标是分析这种立场在生物伦理学研究中的适用性。
