Abstract
Abstract
Defences of assisted dying typically rely on two supporting values for the practice: patient self-determination (or autonomy) and patient benefit (or well-being). In this paper I explore the roles of these two values in Govert den Hartogh’s What Kind of Death. The Ethics of Determining One’s Own Death.
