A very nice, though somewhat repetitive, examination of the judicial philosophies used for and against physician-assisted suicide (PAS) in the 1990s. Dyck come out strongly against PAS, because (1) it fails to respect the worth of human life even at the margins, (2) it undermines the ethics of care that arise out of the natural proclivity to love and protect life, and (3) its principle justifications cannot be arbitrarily limited so as to avoid "slippery-slope" concerns.
