Answer the following questions:
- We might oppose voluntary active euthanasia even while we support the permissibly of physician assisted suicide because there appears to be a causal distinction between the actions. Carefully describe Brock’s two responses to this view.
- One might think that the importance of autonomy as a reason for voluntary active euthanasia diminishes in certain circumstances (like advanced age or terminal illness). Carefully explain both this view and Brock’s response.
