Reference no: EM13522456

Consider the following argument: Premise 1. Euthanasia ends a patient’s chance of recovery. Premise2. If euthanasia ends a patient’s chance of recovery, then euthanasia works against a patient’s best interests. Premise3. If euthanasia works against a patient’s best interests, then euthanasia is morally impermissible. Conclusion. Therefore, euthanasia is morally impermissible. Explain one of those objections, making sure to explain why the objection is a problem for the argument (does it make the argument invalid? unsound? If so, how?).
