如今 ， 在荷兰 ， 协助性自杀占死亡总数的3左右这是一个很大的数字 。
但是 ， 相比医生可以安静地将其病人的生命带至终点的不言而喻的传统 ， 并没有出现大量的安乐死 。

这项法律允许医生（但是医生没有义务）在第二名医生同意的情况下 ， 给生命剩余时间不到6个月且向他们提出要求的病人开出致死药物 。
这其间有一段15天的冷静期 。

But the practical consequence of this stricture is to prevent those who are incapacitated from being gra 。

They want to know that when they are incapacitated, they will be granted help to die, if that is their wish. Allowing 。

26、 doctors to administer the drugs would ensure this.我们会走得更远一些 。
俄勒冈州法律坚持 ， 致死剂量由病人自己开出 ， 以回避自愿安乐死 。
对于病人来说 ， 吃药和要求注射之间的道德差别微乎其微 。
但是 ， 这种严 格要求的实际后果却是让丧失行动能力的人想安乐死的时候得不到别人的帮助 。
一些最激烈地为协助性自杀造势的人承受的是诸如引发渐进性麻痹的运动神经元病这 类病痛的折磨 ， 这不令人惊讶 。
他们想知道的是 ， 当自己丧失行动能力时 ， 是否会如愿以偿地获准协助性自杀 。

协助性自杀的标准应当是病人对自身痛苦的评估 ， 而不是病人对其疾病性质的评估 。

我们的观点是 ， 这是丧失行动能力之人的自主权的一种表达 ，并且许多丧失行动能力的人也这样看 。
斯蒂芬霍金就把违背意愿而让一个人活着的行为称为“最大的侮辱” 。
