Confronting physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia: my father's death
To prevent errors from occurring, argues Hare, we need the critical reasoning that has to be directed according to broad ethical principles, and it would be advisable for society and for ourselves not to deviate from these broad ethical principles. Such broad principles should be structured in such a way that inter-generational and universal experience informs us of that which experience has shown to be generally conducive in producing the best consequences. These would involve many of the standard moral principles such as telling the truth, not harming others, and abstaining from arbitrary manslaughter. Hare's theory of the need for broad rules supplied justification for the prohibition against euthanasia in the States, but some issues such as manslaughter in the case euthanasia, life-destructing disability, or self-defense are sot so simple.
