Why Gender Matters to the Euthanasia Debate: On Decisional Capacity and the Rejection of Women's Death Requests
Hastings Center Report 30 (1):30-36 (2000)
Abstract
Are women's requests for aid in dying honored more often than men's, or less? Feminist arguments can support conclusions either that gendered perceptions of women as self‐sacrificing predispose physicians to accede to women's requests to die — or that cultural understandings of women as not fully rational agents lead physicians to reject their requests as irrational.Author's Profile
