Paper Summary:
The paper explores a pressing moral dilemma and how it appears Kant, Bentham and Hare would treat such a matter were they alive. Specifically, the paper looks at euthanasia and at the positions of each philosopher on this morally and intellectually vexing issue. To begin with, a review of Kant's work indicates that would he be alive today, he would be strongly opposed to euthanasia because of the unintended negative consequences it can create and because of his own revulsion towards suicide. Moreover, Bentham would, in the writer's opinion, be less-than-congenial towards euthanasia because of the potential it has to create far more harm than good for society at large (thereby making it a decidedly non-utilitarian practice) and because, like Kant, he feels that suicide is an offensive act worthy of condemnation.More papers on Kant, Bentham and Hare:
