Does the slippery slope to euthanasia make sense? | NRL News Today: An argument is not like a bus where you can get off at any stop you, once you have accepted the premises you have to follow it to the end of the line. If voluntary euthanasia were accepted as a legitimate form of medical assistance in dying, then it would also be acceptable for noncompetent patients. An advocate of legalizing voluntary active euthanasia either must bite the bullet and also accept non-voluntary active euthanasia or must concede that if non-voluntary active euthanasia is regarded as too dangerous or unpalatable, then this is a valid and cogent reason for rejecting voluntary active euthanasia as well.
