摘要

世界上越来越多的司法管辖区颁布了协助死亡法,允许人们在协助下结束生命。所有现有框架都有一个共同点,即它们限制接触(1)自主行动和(2)患有某些疾病的人。第二项限制受到批评,理由是它只允许有特定医疗条件的人,而不允许其他人在帮助下死亡,从而判断哪些生命值得活下去。为了避免这样的判断,一些学者支持一种只有自主性的观点,这种观点要求自主性是协助死亡的唯一必要条件。在考虑到第二次准入限制所引起的批评之后,本文以德国为例分析了制定仅自主协助死亡法的复杂性。它的结论是,这种方法在实践中面临的挑战可能会阻止以自主为重点的辅助死亡框架在不久的将来成为法律。

Is the Time Right to Enact Autonomy-Only Assisted Dying Laws?

An increasing number of jurisdictions worldwide have enacted assisted dying laws allowing persons to end their lives with assistance. All existing frameworks have in common that they restrict access to persons who (1) act autonomously and (2) suffer from certain illnesses. The second restriction has been criticised on the basis that it makes judgments about which lives are worth living by only allowing persons with specific medical conditions, but not others, to die with assistance. To avoid such judgments, some scholars endorse an autonomy-only view which requires autonomy as the only necessary condition for assisted dying. After considering the criticism the second access restriction has attracted, this article analyses the complexities of enacting autonomy-only assisted dying laws using Germany as a case study. It concludes that the challenges this approach faces in practice will likely prevent autonomy-focused assisted dying frameworks from becoming law in the near future.
