Title: Helen Stasa
Human vs animal euthanasia
In this paper, I will discuss the attitudes towards the euthanasia of human
and non-human animals, focussing specifically on the differences between
these attitudes. More precisely, I will explore whether it is consistent to
hold that whilst euthanasia is permissible for non-human animals, it is not
permissible (or, at least, is permissible in fewer circumstances) for human
animals. That is, is there an intrinsic moral difference between euthanasia
for non-human animals and euthanasia for human animals, which can be used
to justify this position? In order to answer this question, I will examine
in detail two euthanasia cases which would seem to be identical in all
respects apart from species membership, arguing that it seems difficult to
identify some morally relevant property or attribute which can be used to
ground this distinction. I will conclude by arguing that in order to be
consistent, we need to a) adopt a more lenient approach to human
non-voluntary euthanasia or b) instead invest more efforts in the
palliative care of non-human animals.
