karina andersen A doctors oath squashes his mantra, "I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest such counsel. I don't know where you got your information on a doctor's mantra but that obviously isn't it.

doctors have four core principals Justice, autonomy, beneficence and nonmaleficence they may sometime contradict each other... but that's why we have ethics committees at hospitals.

Is a doctor inflicting harm or is the illness inflicting harm? You know the answer, it just doesn't suit your narrative.

Proud to be Dutch. We care for the autonomy of the person, as it should be.

I wish it was more heavily addressed that the Slippery Slope argument IS a logical fallacy. Great debate though!

If you tax people just a little bit, soon you're down the slippery slope taxing everyone for everything, so no taxes!

I know. And it comes from the shitty religion why people use the excuse of "slippery slope" when they abandon rational decisions and rational laws.

Depends on how you use it actually. I haven't watch the debate yet so you might be right that it's fallacious in this case I'm not sure.

Slippery slope isn't always a fallacy. More importantly, if autonomy is all that matters in the euthanasia debate, then euthanasia should be legal for all people who request; otherwise, we'd be infringing on their medical autonomy. That's the point Charles was making

Singer is one of the clearest philosophers out there.

Tom Dalzell It's irrational to judge any ideology you disagree with as evil. Create a counterargument, or be invalid. All of the people you listed had very interesting and reasonable, albeit controversial ideologies.

Should the government have the right to prevent two consenting adults from entering into a contract (assuming the contract does not bring great harm to others)?

the most fantastic thing is that when a person wants to have stronger pain medication with the knowledge that death will come quicker is more humane

I was looking for the Karina Anderson channel. Have I come to the right place? XD

Sir Terence David John "Terry" Pratchet, produced a documentary, it was an insight into people's choices to euthanasia

Why is the short little guy constantly sniffling?

euthanasia, I have never known it to be any less that a last decision

Why should the fact that the culture I am embedded in informs what I value and informs what sort of life I regard as valuable, a condition which it would seem no one can escape, undermine the idea that I have a sufficient degree of autonomy. In fact, being so embedded would seem to be rather a condition for achieving autonomy.

At 3:00... So does Singer think abortion is wrong? In abortion you take someone's life without him/her requesting it, right?

Tom Dalzell You could say every sperm and egg is potentially it's own unique person yes? Yet we rationally know that they, and embryonic masses are no conscious or self-sufficient. You cannot ignore the FACT that humanity is inherently a narcissistic cancer on this planet. Why encourage more mindless life, instead of supporting the life we already have?

Toa Onua If we wanted to support the humanity we have on earth at this very moment we would be speaking out against major corporations polluting our planet and NOT devising new ways to cover up others individual mistakes (this of course excuses cases of rape). But doctors go against their oath every time they kill and infant or every time they assist in a suicide. Life is life and we as individuals have no say on the matter of ending a anothers life.

Claudia Turino I totally agree with your initial points, yet you're not making any connection to your claims that doctors are going against their oath. I quite clearly specified that BECAUSE humanity is narcissistic, the vast majority of individuals are more empathetic to a meaningless, human embryo, than every other species on this planet. For example, please pardon the rhetorical question, but tell me why the intellectual advancements in biological medicine are generally ONLY within human medicine, and not the much more broad and biologically empathetic philosophies of veterinary medicine?
