What I will discuss are two of moral arguments that have been put forward as reasons for objecting to the legalization of physician-assisted suicide. They have been taken seriously by a great many people and have had a powerful impact on the state of American law in this area. I will argue that they are bad arguments. I should say at the outset, however, that even if these are bad arguments, there may be others that are better. Many people oppose the legalizing of physician-assited suicide on the ground that (as they think) there is no way of constraining the practice so as to provide adequate proctections for the poor and the weak. They may be right, and if they are, then all bets are off. Alternatively, theym may be wrong. I will simply bypass this issue.
