AI-generated Abstract
This article discusses two arguments against the legalization of physician-assisted suicide, arguing that they are flawed. The author examines the implications of these arguments on American law and emphasizes the need for robust reasoning on both sides of the debate. Thomson acknowledges the existence of alternative arguments against legalization but focuses on critiquing the ones that have significantly influenced legal discourse.
