Abstract

Euthanasia, assisted suicide, medical assistance in dying, death with dignity: these and many other different terms are used around the world to capture various types of assistance in dying. This diversity in terminology can create confusion both in academic debates and in policy-making if it is unclear what type of action or inaction is intended to be captured, by whom, and under what circumstances. By defining and contrasting several terms and legal status of assistance in dying in jurisdictions authorizing it, this comparative glossary aims to lay a foundation that prevents linguistic and conceptual confusion.

协助死亡:比较法律定义

摘要

安乐死、协助自杀、临终医疗援助、有尊严的死亡:这些以及许多其他不同的术语在世界各地被用来描述各种类型的临终援助。如果不清楚要捕获哪种类型的作为或不作为、由谁以及在什么情况下,这种术语的多样性可能会在学术辩论和政策制定中造成混乱。通过定义和对比在授权的司法管辖区中死亡援助的几个术语和法律地位,本比较词汇旨在为防止语言和概念混淆奠定基础。
