In a recent article in this journal, Rolf Ahlzén treats a moral problem related to physician-assisted suicide (PAS) and the notion of authenticity. The problem is whether considerations of a patient's "true self" should be included in judgments of PAS. In this short commentary, it is argued that Ahlzén (1) neglects to attend to central contributions to the philosophy of authenticity, (2) provides an internally inconsistent theory thereof, and (3) conflates crucial distinctions in the debate.
在本刊最近的一篇文章中，Rolf Ahlzén 探讨了与医师协助自杀（PAS）和真实性概念相关的道德问题。该问题是，在判断 PAS 时是否应考虑患者的“真实自我”。在这篇简短的评论中，作者认为 Ahlzén（1）忽略了对真实性哲学的核心贡献，（2）为此提供了一个内在不一致的理论，以及（3）混淆了辩论中的关键区别。
