Reasoning about death in biomedical decision-making

Article indépendant

WEISSMAN, Jeremy

Depending on our mode of reasoning-moral, prudential, instrumental, empirical, dialectical, and so on-we may come to vastly different conclusions on the nature of death and the appropriate orientation toward matters such as euthanasia or procuring organs from brain-dead patients. These differing orientations have resulted in some of the most enduring conflicts in biomedical decision-making with roots in the earliest strands of philosophical discourse. Through continually grappling with questions over matters of death, we continually step closer to clarity, even if certainty on these matters remains necessarily as elusive as death itself.

Within bioethics, Kant's conception of autonomy is often portrayed as excessively rationalistic, abstract, and individualistic, and, therefore, far removed from the reality of patients' needs. Drawing on recent contributions in Ka...
