THE MAXIM OF SUICIDE: ONE ANGLE ON BIOMEDICAL ETHICS
Journal Title: Asian Journal Social Sciences & Humanities - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Addressing the question in the form of Kant’s maxim, this paper moves on to a more controversial topic in biomedical ethics, physician-assisted suicide. However, my conclusion is tentative, and what is worse, negative: I partially approve suicide. It does not imply a moral hazard. The situation is opposite: in the present times, terminal patients seriously wish it. I, as an author, put an emphasis on this very respect. Now suicide is, for certain circles, nothing but justice. The arguments of thinkers who approve suicide are also cited from this angle.
