Abstract

The article deals with the problem of the right to die as the derivative of the right to life. The author uses problematic, systematic, interdisciplinary, and descriptive approaches when she is looking for answers to such questions: 1) does any life have value? 2) whose claims to live should modern society guar-antee? 3) is it appropriate to speak not only of the right to life but also of the right to die? For this purpose, the utilitarian position of P. Singer, J. McMahan, and M. Tooley is mostly analyzed. Several representatives of the “sanctity of life” conception become their opponents. The author concludes that 1) they speak about the right to die when they question life as an absolute or ontic good; 2) an alternative may be to distinguish between the levels of rights and to respect the persons, not their manifestations. Eventually, a different under-standing of values is at the core of the disagreement.

Özet

Makale, yaşam hakkının türevi olarak ölme hakkı sorununu ele almaktadır. Yazar, bu tür sorulara cevap ararken sorunlu, sistematik, disiplinler arası ve ta-nımlayıcı yaklaşımlar kullanır: 1) Herhangi bir yaşamın değeri var mı? 2) modern toplum yaşamak için kimin iddialarını garanti etmeli? 3) sadece yaşam hakkın-dan değil, aynı zamanda ölme hakkından da bahsetmek uygun mudur? Bu amaç-la, P. Singer, J. McMahan ve M. Tooley'nin faydacı konumu çoğunlukla analiz edilir. “Yaşamın kutsallığı” anlayışının birkaç temsilcisi rakipleri haline gelir. Yazar, 1) yaşamı mutlak veya ontik bir iyilik olarak sorguladıklarında ölme hak-kı hakkında konuştukları sonucuna varır; 2) bir alternatif, hakların düzeyleri ara-sında ayrım yapmak ve tezahürlerini değil, kişilere saygı duymak olabilir. Sonuç-ta, farklı bir değer anlayışı anlaşmazlığın özünde yer almaktadır.
