摘要

Definition of the problem As concerns a right to assisted suicide it is not just controversial whether we have such a right but also to what it would entitle us. Arguments The article argues that this is a debate about what it takes for decisions to be worthy of respect. It is argued that those decisions should be respected that are autonomous exercises of the rights people have over themselves. It is further argued that decisions, which are exercises of rights, only create permissions neither reasons nor obligations. Conclusion This also applies to decisions to end one's life.
