# data[].attributes.body
All this is, in part, why E&PAS

cannot be a medical procedure.key elements in any medical intervention

such as informed consent are simply not

possible without knowing what stands on

the other side of death. Rather than a stan-

dard medical discussion of alternatives based

on scientific data or clinical experience, the

discussion must leave the clinical domain

and enter the domain of speculation. This

is not an exercise in informed-consent.

In Germany the first serious proposal to kill people with disabilities came

from Ernst Haeckel, a leading Darwinian biologist.

He worried that modem medicine

and humanitarianism would allow the weak and sick to survive to reproduce,

thus subverting humanity’s evolutionary progress. To prevent such an outcome,

he suggested various eugenics proposals,

gave her husband a choice between euthanasia and admission to a home for the chronically ill. The husband, afraid of being left to the mercy of strangers in an unfamiliar place, chose to be killed. The husband's doctor, although aware of the coercion, ended his patient's life If the patient's autonomy is the guiding principle and the determination of unbearable pain and suffering is so subjective, then it is understandable why the Dutch have found it hard to deny any competent person, whether visibly sick or apparently healthy, the right to choose euthanasia.

If the Hippocratic oath considers the life of the patient as having value and abhors euthanasia, why is euthanasia a good option? If it avoids overtreamtment, is skipping to euthanasia when therapy and other parameters exist not in violation?

. Peter Singer, one

of the most influential bioethicists promoting involuntary euthanasia for

people with disabilities, argues that science, especially Darwinian science,

shows us that human life has no ultimate purpose, so we should “unsanctify

human life” and permit euthanasia, both voluntary and involuntary.

In contrast, euthanasia is intentional killing of the patient, because the doctor is using an invasive procedure.

suffering persons, while on the other hand

is to respect the fundamental intrinsic

: for example, when euthanasia of terminally ill patients is justified by the principle of autonomy, the same principle can be used for justification of euthanasia of non-terminally ill people.

The autonomy argument falls flat because it can be used for non-terminally I'll people who according to proponets of euthanasia should be able to request the procedure.

The present study has several limitations. First, we studied evaluations of hypothetical scenarios presenting euthanasia cases

. It is therefore possible that we could have found the order effect predicted by the attitudinal slippery slope argument if we had used scenarios where justifiability of euthanasia differed less

However, it is still important to see the ways that people react to different scenarios as a starting point

for example, when euthanasia of terminally ill patients is justified by the principle of autonomy, the same principle can be used for justification of euthanasia of non-terminally ill people. Still another mechanism through which a slippery slope effect may occur is a gradual change of attitudes after legalisation of euthanasia.
