Life's Worth: The Case Against Assisted Suicide
Arthur J. Dyck, Mary a Saltonstall Professor if Population Ethics, Harvard University
This is an excerpt from the book:
“As a standard for judging behavior, sacredness of life is a particular way of characterizing the worth of human life. That a human life is sacred means that the worth of it is beyond calculation, that is, incalculable. One can glean this from what is said about the sanctity of life in law. An individual’s life is to be protected in every imaginable circumstance....What can make killing morally wrong [in the context of physician assisted suicide], then, is that human life, the one killed, is treated as living a life that has little or no worth, rather than as one living a life of incalculable worth and as having a right to be treated accordingly. If laws were permitted to embody the idea that in some circumstances life loses its worth, or that some people lack sufficient worth to have their lives protected, individuals would no longer enjoy equal protection of the law so far as their lives are concerned.” 110 pp.
