Physician-assisted suicide offers a moral and theological Rorschach test. Foundational commitments regarding morality and theology are disclosed by how the issue is perceived and by what moral problems it is seen to present. One of the cardinal differences disclosed is that between Western and Orthodox Christian approaches to theology in general, and the theology of dying and suicide in particular. Confrontation with the issue of suicide is likely to bring further doctrinal development in many of the Western Christian religions, so as to be able to accept physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia.
医生协助自杀提供了一项道德和神学的罗夏墨迹测验。关于道德和神学的基本承诺通过对该问题的认知方式以及它被视为呈现出的道德问题得以揭示。所揭示的一个主要差异是西方和东正教基督教在一般神学方面，尤其是在死亡和自杀神学方面的差异。与自杀问题的对峙可能会在许多西方基督教宗教中带来进一步的教义发展，以便能够接受医生协助自杀和安乐死。
