N2  - Since 1998, physician-assisted suicide has been legal in the American state of Oregon. In this paper, I defend Oregon's physician-assisted suicide (PAS) law against two of the most common objections raised against it. First, I try to show that it is not intrinsically wrong for someone with a terminal disease to kill herself. Second, I try to show that it is not intrinsically wrong for physicians to assist someone with a terminal disease who has reasonable grounds for wanting to kill herself.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
