Study questions:  Battin, "Euthanasia, The Way We Do it; the Way They Do it"


1.  Battin in this essay contrasts three different overall approaches to end-of-life issues in
       medicine (those of the U.S., Holland, and Germany).  How does she describe these
       approaches.  What are the main ways in which they differ from each other?

2.  Of the three countries Battin discusses, choose the one you think has the most plausible
            approach to end-of-life issues.  Explain that approach.  What is the most important
            objection against it?  How do you respond?  Why is this approach superior to the others?
