This article is a response to Thomas David Riisfeldt's paper entitled 'Weakening the ethical distinction between euthanasia, palliative opioid use and palliative sedation'. It is shown that as far as euthanasia and palliative sedation are concerned, Riisfeldt has not established that a common ground, or a similarity, between the two is the relief of suffering. Quite the contrary, this is not characteristic of euthanasia, neither by definition nor from a clinical point of view. Hence, the argument hinges on a conceptually and empirically erroneous premise and is accordingly a non-starter.

译文

:本文是对托马斯·戴维·里斯菲尔德(Thomas David Riisfeldt)发表的论文的回应,该论文题为“弱化安乐死,姑息性阿片类药物使用与姑息镇静之间的伦理区别”。研究表明,就安乐死和姑息镇静而言,Riisfeldt尚未确定两者之间的共同点或相似点是减轻痛苦。恰恰相反,无论从定义还是从临床角度来看,这都不是安乐死的特征。因此,论点取决于概念上和经验上错误的前提,因此不是一个开端。
