In this paper I address two central issues. First, I Some have also argued that itfollows that it is assume that it is permissible for a person to commit permissible for them, or that they have a right, to use the suicide and ask whether it follows that it is also assistance of another person.

Second, I assume that people whether itfollows that it is also permissible for the person have a right to commit suicide and ask whether it to employ an agent to assist in the death. Second, I follows that the right holders have a right to employ assume that people have a right to commit suicide and an agent to assist with the death. My purpose is not ask whether itfollows that the right holders have a right to argue that suicide is morally permissible or that to employ an agent to assist with the death. I argue that there is a moral right to commit suicide, but to seecopyright. the permissibility ofsuicide does not by itself entail the what follows from these assumptions. permissibility of employing someone to assist in the There are, of course, other ways to argue for the suicide. I also argue that the right to commit suicide does right to (or the permissibility of) assisted death. It not by itselfentail the right to assisted death. Instead, might be argued on utilitarian grounds that it is whatfollows is that there is a right not to have necessary to prevent terrible suffering. It might also unreasonable restrictions placed on the means by which be argued that there is a right to health care and that one can exercise one's right to commit suicide. Whether assisted death should be seen as part of that right. a restriction is reasonable depends on the conclusion Whatever the merits of these arguments, I shall http://jme.bmj.com/ reached when one has weighed a number ofpolicy restrict myself to the claim that if it is permissible (or considerations. if there is a right) to commit suicide then it follows straightaway that it is permissible (or that there is a right) to employ an agent to assist with the death.

In such cases the person who wants to manner: die may also want the assistance of another. Assisted death occurs when someone intentionally assists in "If it is permissible for a person (or if a person has causing another's voluntary death.

  • Mass Murder in the 21St Century
    Mass Murder in the 21st Century: From Assumptions to Truths Meredith L. Ille 3 Acknowledgements For my dear Mother, Mary Lou Ille, my best friend and staunchest supporter. There are not enough words to express my gratitude and love. For my thesis committee members: Chairperson Dr. Shawna Cleary, for inspiring this thesis and seeing it through to the end; Dr. Elizabeth Maier, for taking the time and having such patience; And Dr. Burle Steelman, for his willingness to help and going above and beyond the call of duty. 4 Table of Contents Abstract 5 Introduction 6 Literature Review 9 Hypotheses 39 Methods 40 Results 43 Discussion 50 Conclusions 57 References 59 5 Abstract Mass murder is the killing of four or more people in one incident. There is a national lack of awareness of the most predominant type of mass murder. This thesis hypothesized that the majority of mass murders in the United States are mass murder familicides. It is further hypothesized that most mass murder familicides are committed by Caucasian men in their 30s and 40s. Data from two sources were used: the USA Today Behind the Bloodshed database, and the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report Supplementary Homicide Report (SHR) for the years 2006- 2016. It was also necessary to use supplemental data from media accounts where data was missing or in doubt. Mass murder familicides were tallied from both databases. They were then categorized to determine if mass murder familicide was the most common form of mass murder, testing hypothesis one. Ages and race of offenders were then tallied to determine support for hypothesis two, that most offenders were Caucasian and in their 30s and 40s.

  • ING DEATH: Medical Aid-In-Dying and the Morality of Suicide
    CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY AUTHOR(IZ)ING DEATH: Medical Aid-in-Dying and the Morality of Suicide ANITA HANNIG Brandeis University https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4733-0392 On October 27, 2015, the Massachusetts Joint Committee on Public Health held a hearing at the State House in Boston to discuss a new bill that would enable terminally ill patients to end their life by ingesting a lethal medication prescribed by their physician. At the hearing, opponents of the proposed bill invited testi- monies by those who had lost someone to suicide or who had been active in sui- cide-prevention organizations. That is why Pauline Mars, an elderly resident from North Grafton, got up to speak. Some forty-two years ago, her husband had shot himself in the head in their bedroom, leaving behind Mars and their four children. “On that Sunday afternoon, our lives were shattered and changed forever. I was the widow of suicide. My children were the children of suicide,” she testified. “Suicide does not eliminate suffering; it causes unbearable, unending pain.” Two hours later, Mary Hoge, an elder law attorney from Medfield, warned legislators: “If you pass this law, you will redefine a tragedy and call it a medical procedure. You will call death just another choice. We all know suicide has been considered a sad conse- quence of depression, loneliness, fear, and desperation. Suicide of any kind is a result of a mind in turmoil, an act of a person who feels unloved and abandoned. Can we legislate love and accompaniment instead?” CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY, Vol. 34, Issue 1, pp.

Lyon: Protecting Patients’ Autonomy Protecting Patients’ Autonomy: Supporting the “Right to Die” By Nicholas Lyon As medical techniques have increased in complexity, death can be delayed more and more, and the debate over euthanasia has become increasingly important. Patients with chronic ailments such as AIDS or cancer can now receive treatments that allow them to survive for far longer than what was possible even only a few decades ago. Through the use of modern genetic analysis tools, companies like 23andMe have allowed people of all ages to know what diseases and infirmities they are prone to long before the onset of symptoms. Despite these advancements however, society’s definition of “survive” remains purely having the body’s mechanical processes continue, and fails to incorporate the patient’s suffering and quality of life into the discussion. Due to the intrinsically subjective nature of such complaints from a patient, the critical factor to be considered in the ethics of requests to die will be how the patient views their suffering and quality of life, not the observations of third parties.

  • Death with Dignity a Community Service Research Project Designed by Rutgers Jrs
    Death with Dignity A community service research project designed by Rutgers Jrs. and Srs. to gain perspective on Euthanasia opinions at Rutgers University. Tag words: Euthanasia, Right to die, Physician assisted suicide, Terminally ill Authors: Cynthia Bengel, Olga Ivey, Arthur Omondi with Julie M. Fagan, Ph.D. Summary The group has been looking at the issue of euthanasia and whether it should be legalized in the state of NJ. Research was done on the history of euthanasia and on current global legislation. The service project was centered on doing a survey of the Rutgers University students to determine their views on the subject. A total of 273 students participated in the survey. 53.9% of respondents disagreed with the statement that euthanasia is always morally wrong. 49.8 % of the respondents disagreed with the statement that euthanasia should be illegal at least under all circumstances. 69.2 % of respondents agreed that the principal moral consideration about euthanasia is the question of whether the person freely chooses to die or not. Finally, 48.4 % of the respondents disagreed that actively killing someone is always morally worse than just letting them die. The results of this survey indicate that the student body is evenly divided between pro and anti euthanasia with a significant number being neutral on the subject. The Issue: Euthanasia The History of Euthanasia Euthanasia is a term derived from the Greek words Eu meaning “good” or “easy” and Thanatos meaning “death”. This term was used by Suetonius, a historian of the Roman Empire in the 2nd century AD. Euthanasia is also known as Mercy Killing or Assisted Suicide depending upon the circumstances.

  • International Law and the “Right to Die”
    Last updated August 2016 INTERNATIONAL LAW AND THE “RIGHT TO DIE” “Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.” Article 3, Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948 There is not a “right to die” under international law. Such a “right” cannot be inferred from the ordinary meaning of any human rights document. On the contrary, human rights documents call upon states to protect life. Of the 193 members of the United Nations, only four have legalized euthanasia (the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Canada). The issue continues to be fiercely debated but has been rejected by legislatures in many jurisdictions. International Law ñ Article 6(1) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) states, “Every human being has the inherent right to life. This right shall be protected by law. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his life.” ñ Article 6(1) of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) states that “every child has the inherent right to life,” and makes no mention of a right to death. ñ Article 10 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) safeguards against, rather than recognizes, a right to death by stating, “States Parties reaffirm that every human being has the inherent right to life and shall take all necessary measures to ensure its effective enjoyment by persons with disabilities on an equal basis with others.” ñ Rather than recognizing a “right to die”, UN treaties implicitly reject this notion by including strong protections for the sick, disabled, and elderly – the people most often affected by the legalization of euthanasia and assisted suicide.
