This doctrine may be challenged for several reasons.

Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy, 2007 In order to discuss the normative aspects of euthanasia one has to clarify what is meant by active and passive euthanasia.

Philosophy, 1978
This paper is divided into three sections. The first presents some examples of the killing/letting die distinction. The second draws a further distinction between what I call negative and positive cases of acting or refraining. Here I argue that the moral significance of the acting/refraining distinction is different for positive and for negative cases.
