摘要

安乐死和医生协助自杀是医学伦理学和医学法学中有争议的问题。在辩论中,可以找到一些反对医生积极参与导致病人死亡的道德可接受性和法律可行性的论点。一种说法是指十诫:“不可杀人”。杀害另一个人在道德上是卑鄙的。根据该论点,医生当然也是如此,正如希波克拉底誓言中明确禁止堕胎和安乐死所看到的那样。一个不那么明确的论点是关于滑坡效应的:如果允许安乐死,滑坡运动就会开始。这一运动的结果将是,一方面,医生将被迫帮助那些以任何理由要求终止生命的人。另一方面,它可能会导致一种情况,即杀死对社会不再有用的人成为常态。

Beyond autonomy and beneficence: the moral basis of euthanasia in the Netherlands.
Euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide are controversial issues in medical ethics and medical law. In the debate, several arguments against the moral acceptability and legal feasibility of active involvement of physicians in bringing about a patient’s death can be found. One argument refers back to the Ten Commandments: “Thou shall not kill”. Killing another human being is morally abject. According to the argument, this is certainly so for medical doctors, as can be seen in the Hippocratic Oath, which explicitly forbids abortion and euthanasia. A less apodictic argument refers to the slippery slope: if euthanasia would be permitted, a downhill movement is set in motion. The end of this movement would be, on the one hand, that physicians will feel forced to assist people who ask for termination of life on whatever grounds. On the other hand, it might lead to a situation in which it becomes normal to kill people who are no longer useful for society.
