Was Callahan correct to sound a warning about the danger of granting autonomy the utter authority over a person’s life? In the context of euthanasia (either active or passive), does it matter that a person is terminally ill? If it does make a difference, explain why that is so. If it does not matter that a person is terminally ill, is there any way of stopping short of providing euthanasia (either active or passive) to the broken-hearted twenty-year-old who is certain he can never love again?
