Preventing the slide down the slippery slope from assisted suicide to euthanasia while protecting the rights of people with disabilities who are "not dead yet."

ANNAS, George J. | KUMMER, Heidi B.

Since at least the advent of Jack Kevorkian's "suicide machine" the major argument against adopting physician-assisted suicide laws has been that they will lead us down a slippery slope to state-sanctioned killing by physicians (usually termed "euthanasia") (Kevorkian, 1991). In the United States the legal line between physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia has not been breached in any of the 10 states that have adopted "Medical Aid in Dying" (also termed "physician-assisted suicide") laws.
