the slippery slope argument Robert and Traci Latimer

the slippery slope argument the psychological version A ctive euthanasia has been permitted in Holland since 1973, and there does not appear to have been any great breakdown in respect for life there. Such evidence suggests that people are able to distinguish between various types of cases, and keep them separated fairly well. -James Rachels, Euthanasia p.62

the slippery slope argument the psychological version 406 physicians. 129,000 deaths. 2,700 cases of voluntary active euthanasia. 1,000 cases of non-voluntary active euthanasia. 100 cases of non-voluntary active euthanasia involving conscious, able-minded people. Less that 50% of euthanasia cases were reported as such. J.H. Groenewould, et.al., New England Journal of Medicine
