With regard to ethics and legislation, what is the significant difference between a doctor terminating the life-supporting treatment of a patient in the course of his job and a greedy relative of the patient doing the same thing to inherit his wealth? Merkel offers an interesting and inventive answer to this question in terms of the improper violation of personal boundaries. However, despite Merkel's claim to the contrary, his answer does not directly address the question of the relevant ethical similarities and differences between killing and letting die in general. Furthermore, it does not provide the basis a plausible rationale for legislation concerning killing and letting die. The questions of whether letting someone die is ethically the same as killing someone and whether it should be treated the same way by the criminal law are not the same as or tantamount to the question of whether or not it involves the transgression of another person's boundaries.

:在道德和法律方面,终止工作中的患者生命支持治疗的医生与患者为了同样地继承财产而贪婪的亲戚之间有何显着区别?默克尔以不当违反个人界限​​的方式,为这个问题提供了有趣且富有创造力的答案。但是,尽管默克尔提出了相反的主张,但他的回答并未直接解决杀害与纵容之间在伦理上的相似性和区别性的问题。此外,它没有为有关杀害和死亡的立法提供合理的依据。从伦理上讲,让某人死与杀人是一样的问题,刑法是否应以同样的方式对待这一问题,与是否涉及侵犯他人边界的问题不尽相同或无异。
