Question

Why is Brock point of view better in this case compared to Arras?

Both Arras and Brock agree that physician-assisted suicide (PAS) is an individual right and a societal ill. They agree it is a morally acceptable practice in certain, individual cases. They also agree that negative societal consequences would probably result from making PAS a basic right of citizens in the US. The two disagree, however, in comparing the moral weight of PAS as an individual right to the moral weight of PAS as a likely societal ill. In this debate, we will argue and criticize their moral calculus. In this debate, the positions of Arras and Brock wil be argued as follows: Arras: PAS should not be made a right because its negative social consequences outweigh its positive individual consequences. Brock: PAS should be made a right because its positive individual consequences outweigh its negative social consequences.

Answer 1

Answer: The Brock point of view is that PAS should be made a right because it's positive individual consequences outweigh it's negative social consequences. PAS is a physician assisted suicide where physician ki the medicine on demand and wish of the critically ill patient to end life. It is so because the patient know that if he would survive it will create more difficult consequences in his as well as others life. Some where it has positive impact on the consequences.
