TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - To Die or Not to Die: A Kantian Perspective on Euthanasia JO - Journal of Indian Council of Philosophical Research A1 - Sinha, N. SP - 13 EP - 24 VL - 39 IS - 1 N2 - The paper attempts to explore the implications of Kant's moral criticism of suicide in the case of euthanasia. The paper argues that since Kant's criticism of suicide is essentially directed towards rational beings who are in full control of their rational faculty. It would hence not be applicable in case of individuals who are suffering from dementia and who have expressed a prior desire to be euthanized in such a scenario. © 2021, Indian Council of Philosophical Research.
