The two theories that you will be analying for euthanasia will be Act Utilitarism and Deontological. YOU can pick which train of thought you side with I do not care but you must pick on as stated in the rubric. Please get ahold of me if you have any questions.

 

The book that is needed to cite from is called – ethical choices burnor and raley

Here is a link to the summaries of the chapters, it should be very helpful – ethical choices burnor and raley Chapter 7 and 9

Here are some notes I took briefly

 

Act utilitarianism- pleasure at a basic, look at all the benefits, euthanasia is an easy decision to make

 

Deontological- life is life and should not be ended. Kant tho says that at a vegetated stay we can say it may be necessary. The vegetated state no longer has goals or interests. My mind is no longer there so I want to make a decision for my body.
