Euthanasia: how proponents justify it and provide models for regulation.

Life prolonging advances in medicine have raised debate about the concept and clinical practice of euthanasia for terminally ill patients. This debate involves the need for protection of patients' rights in their delicate condition, while providing them with the right to end their own life, if they choose to do so. This paper addresses how proponents justify euthanasia in societies that have legalized it, while ensuring that patients asking for a merciful death do not get exploited by the system. Regulation models are thus adapted from the Dutch and Oregon medical systems.

Intention, manner, and culpability in death.

This paper criticizes the policy of the American Medical Association's policy on euthanasia. Contrary to a notable criticism of the AMA policy, this paper focuses not on the distinction between acts of commission and omission, but on the distinction between medical treatment aimed at ending life and medical treatment aimed at preserving an acceptable life for the patient.
