Assignments: Rachels, Chapter 7.2 Synopsis: PATERNALISM AND RESPECT FOR AUTONOMY THE EXAMPLES OF EUTHANASIA AND ASSISTED SUICIDE BASIC CONCEPTS:...
Watch the cases of EUTHANASIA & ASSISTED SUICIDE Jack Kevorkian and the Right to Die | Retro Report | The New York Times": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_EKwSXOsVE and write a short position paper (less than 3pp) in which you explain the Kantian theory based on the categorical imperative). Subsequently, apply this theory either top one of the cases discussed in class or (in the video), generally, to the issue of euthanasia and assisted suicide.
Some pointers:
* Morally speaking, what is the right thing to do? Why?
* Address this problem from the point of view of but one theory: Kant's deontology (use the Categorical Imperative, formula of respect). Ideally, use a different theory than one you have already applied to a previously discussed case.
* Explain the theory in sufficient detail to convince me you understand it. Also, this way you will be able to use this part while you write your term paper. Then, apply it to the case.
you use Kantian Theory, so write what are the main tenets of Kantian Ethics (K) as this theory was explained in class and the book. Please, start with a clear formulation of the Kant's 2nd Categorical Imperative, the formula of respect. Explain what it means to treat someone merely as a means (and not also as an end)? How is it different from using someone as a means (but not merely as a means)? How is it related to autonomy and rational consent?
use the handout of EUTHANASIA & ASSISTED SUICIDE to get a background about it.
