I argue here that an adjudication of assisted death might follow from
viewing it as a compassionate response to one sort of medical failure, rather
than as something to be prohibited outright or as something to be established
as a standard policy. This would seem to translate, in law, into allowing
compassionate and competent medical practice to serve as a defense against a
charge of homicide or of assisting a suicide. By assisted death I mean either
voluntary, active euthanasia, as now commonly practiced in the Netherlands and
as proposed in an unsuccessful referendum in Washington State in 1991, or
assisted suicide, in which the patient is provided at his or her request with
sufficient medication or other means to end life, with the knowledge that the
patient intends to use the medication for that purpose. |
