 note = {application/pdf, 紀要論文, In this paper, I discuss whether there are some moral differences between killing and letting die. Based on “the moral equivalence(Rachels)” or “the moral symmetry principle(Tooley)”, Rachels and \
Tooley argue that there is no moral difference between killing and letting die. They thereby conclude that there is no moral difference between active euthanasia and passive euthanasia, and that active \
euthanasia is also morally acceptable.\
I argue two points. First, they give counterexamples for a moral principle “All killings are morally wrong.” This doesn.t justify individual actions such as giving lethal injection, withholding life \
support treatment. Their claims don.t support individual actions in actual clinical practices. Second, I argue about a relationship between “the moral symmetry principle” and other moral principles. When \
we evaluate an action using a moral principle, it is not always the case that “the moral symmetry principle” by itself takes precedence over other moral principles. To support the idea, some additional \
justification is required to “the moral symmetry principle” used in case of euthanasia. Based on these points, I conclude that their attempts to argue for active euthanasia don.t succeed.},
