peter singer and non Voluntary Euthanasia tripping down the slippery slope
Journal of Applied Philosophy, 1992Co-Authors: Suzanne Uniacke, H. J. MccloskeyAbstract:This article discusses the nature of Euthanasia, and the way in which redevelopment of the concept of Euthanasia in some influential recent philosophical writing has led to morally less discriminating killing/letting die/not saving being misdescribed as Euthanasia. Peter Singer's defence of non-Voluntary ‘Euthanasia’of defective infants in his influential book Practical Ethics is critically evaluated. We argue that Singer's pseudo-Euthanasia arguments in Practical Ethics are unsatisfactory as approaches to determining the legitimacy of killing, and that these arguments present a total utilitarian improvement policy—not a case for non-Voluntary Euthanasia.

UK geriatricians' attitudes to active Voluntary Euthanasia and physician‐assisted death
Age and ageing, 2001Co-Authors: David Clark, George E. Dickinson, Carol J. Lancaster, T. W. Noble, Sam H. Ahmedai, Ian PhilpAbstract:Aim To describe the views of British geriatricians on active Voluntary Euthanasia and physician-assisted death. Method Postal questionnaire to 742 consultant members of the British Geriatrics Society. Results 81% considered active Voluntary Euthanasia never to be justified ethically, although 23% supported legalization in some situations and 13% would be willing to administer active Voluntary Euthanasia in some situations. With regard to physician-assisted death, 68% opposed it on ethical grounds and 24% supported its legalization in some instances, with 12% stating they would be willing to provide such assistance in some situations. Free text comments frequently cited good palliative care as an important response to such issues in clinical practice.

U.K. PHYSICIANS'ATTITUDES TOWARD ACTIVE Voluntary Euthanasia AND PHYSICIAN-ASSISTED SUICIDE
Death studies, 2002Co-Authors: George E. Dickinson, David Clark, Carol J. Lancaster, Sam H. Ahmedzai, William NobleAbstract:A comparison of the views of geriatric medicine physicians and intensive care physicians in the United Kingdom on the topics of active Voluntary Euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide revealed rather different attitudes. Eighty percent of geriatricians, but only 52% of intensive care physicians, considered active Voluntary Euthanasia as never justified ethically. Gender and age did not play a major part in attitudinal differences of the respondents. If the variability of attitudes of these two medical specialties are anywhere near illustrative of other physicians in the United Kingdom, it would be difficult to formulate and implement laws and policies concerning Euthanasia and assisted suicide. In addition, ample safeguards would be required to receive support from physicians regarding legalization.
