Resumo(s)
A dicotomia “matar”/”deixar morrer” tem sido a mais utilizada para separar moralmente a actuação médica nas situações de fim de vida. Se “matar” é tradicionalmente visto como um acto proibido, “deixar morrer” pode, em determinadas circunstâncias, ser um comportamento moralmente admissível. Ao longo do tempo foram propostos vários critérios de diferenciação que permitissem distinguir moralmente as duas situações. Veremos quais foram, os pressupostos em que assentam e as críticas de que foram alvo. Seguidamente, analisaremos a forma como Beauchamp e Childress abordam esta questão na sua obra de referência, Principles of Biomedical Ethics.
The dichotomy between “killing”/"letting die” has been the most common way to morally distinguish medical practices in end of life scenarios. If “killing” has traditionally been seen as an illegal act, than "letting die” may, under certain circumstances, be morally allowed. Over the years, there have been several varying criteria proposed to morally distinguish between such situations. We will look at which ones, the assumptions on which they are based and the reviews they received. Afterwards, we will analyze how Beauchamp and Childress discussed this question in their reference work, the Principles of Biomedical Ethics.
