摘要
在本刊2024年11月的一篇文章中,Don a . Merrill认为Tom Koch(2023)的文章“一个怀疑论者的报告”要么误解了,要么没有理解“滑坡论点”。这篇文章试图回答早期作者提出的问题,即研究人员在授权立法之前所关心的问题是否已经得到满足。“滑坡效应”就是其中之一。在本文中,这些早期关切的性质再次与“滑坡事件”的性质联系起来加以审议,“滑坡事件”导致每年死亡人数不断增加,而对早期医疗终止的要求逐渐放宽。与最初的文章一样,它使用了加拿大卫生部的数据来描述已经发生的情况,而不是对可能发生的情况进行预测。
In a November 2024 article of this journal Don A. Merrill suggested Tom Koch's (2023) article "A Skeptic's Report" either misunderstood or did not understand a "slippery slope argument". That article was an attempt to answer earlier authors who asked if the concerns of researchers prior to enabling legislation had been fulfilled. The "slippery slope" was one. In this article, the nature of those early concerns are again considered in relation to the nature of the "slippery slope event" that has resulted in an increasing annual number of deaths with progressively looser requirements for early medical termination. Like the original article, it uses Health Canada data to describe what has occurred, not a predictive argument on what may be.
