What does true equality in assisted dying require?

Article indépendant

KIM, Scott Y. H.

Shavelson et al. (2023) raise the familiar question of parity or fairness in the assisted dying' debate: if we legally permit the practice for one person. should we not permit everyone similarly situated to access It (Nicolini. Gammas. and Kim 2019)? To do otherwise seems unfair. It touches a deep moral nerve? making parity arguments potent means of making one's case—likely explaining their popularity. But they are probably no less popular than what I will all instabilky arguments (sometimes called conceptual slippery slope arguments) put forth by critics of assisted dying which also focus on equality and discrimination (Kim 2021. 2022).
