Paper Summary:

The paper explains that the slippery slope argument is based on a close link between voluntary and involuntary euthanasia and that one form of euthanasia can be become the other. The paper discusses how the problem with the slippery slope is that it is based in supposition and in the worst scenario developing as a result of one current decision. On the other hand, the paper relates that the worst scenario has actually been played out by doctors and nurses in Nazi Germany who killed people with disabilities and cognitive impairments. The paper discusses how voluntary active euthanasia is prohibited by law in Canada as a social protection and the legislation is fully based on the slippery slope. The paper asserts that another basis is needed because that slippery slope continues to be realized on a large scale in hospitals across Canada.
