医助自杀的合道德性之辩

医助自杀是生命伦理学的重要内容之一。医助自杀的合道德性主要表现在其基本原则、价值目标、道德可能三个方面。医助自杀遵循“自主”的基本原则，即医助自杀是病人自主自愿的要求，符合病人的自主性；医助自杀的价值目标是“人的尊严”，即医助自杀使病人获得了生命的尊严，保证了生活质量；医助自杀的道德可能性是“死亡权”这一自然权利，即医助自杀使得病人通过自主选择获得了“有尊严的死亡”。当然，医助自杀必须考虑双方自主、医患关系持续良好、无其他替代方案、监督体系完善等条件，如此方成为可能，且合乎道德。

Discussion on the Morality of Physician-Assisted Suicide

Physician-assisted suicide is one of the heatedly discussed issues in bioethics.The morality of physician-assisted suicide can be shown mainly as following：autonomy is the valuable basis principle of physi-cian-assisted suicide,which means patients can make their own decisions about whether to receive the physi-cian-assisted suicide or not;human dignity is the valuable target of physician-assisted suicide,which means the physician -assisted suicide can help patients get the respect and guarantee the quality of their lives;the right to die is the moral possibility of physician-assisted suicide.As a natural right,the right to die provides pa-tients with their own decisions to end their lives with dignity.On the other hand,physician-assisted suicide can be workable and ethic on the basis of mutual autonomy between the physician and the patient,the good doctor-patient relationship,no other alternative treatment,and a perfect the supervision system.
