Assisted dying : more attention should be paid to the epistemic asset of personal experience

Article indépendant

ZHANG, Hui | MIAO, Lihan | GAO, Feifei | YANG, Yongguang | WANG, Yuming

The target article (Nelson et al. Citation2023) offers a valuable contribution to the “paradox of experience,” which was illustrated by using examples about access to unproven medical products and disability bioethics. As the authors noted, the paradox extends well beyond these particular issues, and appeals to experience are seen throughout bioethics. In this commentary, we will argue how the personal experience of patients serves as an epistemic asset and a liability in the debate around assisted dying. By weighing both elements of the paradox of experience in this issue, we believe that more attention should be paid to the epistemic asset of experience. [Début du commentaire]
