| Research Abstract |
This study aims to observe and analyze the au courant legislative scene, paticulally on End-of-life care and voluntary euthanasia in France. Legalization advocates argue that individual self-determination and the well-being of seriously ill people justify permitting active euthanasia and assisted suicide. Legalization opponents argue that differences in intent, causation, and act versus omission furnish compelling moral grounds for retaining legal rules against active euthanasia and assisted suicide. Opponents also stress several potential negative consequences of legalization i.e. so-called slippery slope problems. In considering the justifications for laws prohibiting active euthanasia and assisted suicide, judge-made laws have discussed national interests in protesting life and preventing suicide. From my observations so far, it does not seem that their accounts are not persuasive and they support too much national control over individual freedom.
