Comparative study of passive voluntarily Euthanasia in Kantian deontology ethics and Islamic virtual ethics

摘要

Since years ago when Euthanasia was presented as an approach for decreasing patients’ pain and suffering, it faced to many legal and ethical challenges. A part from legal and jurisprudential debates, what is important for article authors is studying ethical permissible or impermissible, but as different ethical theories have different views to this issue, this article has attempted to study ethical aspects in deontology and Islamic ethics. The surveys indicate that passive voluntarily Euthanasia presented by Kant is different from suicide and its ethical permissible can be acceptable but the judgment about ethical permissible in Islamic system will be different and it depends to different expression that there are for inherent intellectual goodness and badness.
