The present discussion on active and passive euthanasia is characterised by the polarisation of various approaches deeply rooted in ideologies: quality of life versus sanctity of life. Autonomy, dignity, instrumentalization of human life are discussed. Furthermore the question of differentiation of active, direct and indirect euthanasia is raised. The author pleads for a reduction of dogmatic positions and recommends a moderate way between the general liberalisation and the general verdict of euthanasia on the moral and legal levels.
当前关于主动和被动安乐死的讨论,其特点是各种深深植根于意识形态的方法两极分化:生活质量与生命神圣性。人们讨论了自主性、尊严、对人类生命的工具化。此外,还提出了主动、直接和间接安乐死的区分问题。作者主张减少教条主义立场,并建议在道德和法律层面上,在普遍自由化和对安乐死的普遍裁决之间采取一种适度的方式。
