Given the following position on euthanasia (doctor-assisted suicide), identify which of the three major ethical theories discussed in the text-utilitarianism, duty theory, or virtue ethics-it follows. Note that each theory may encompass several possible viewpoints on an issue.Active euthanasia should be allowed. However, one would have to be very specific about stating the circumstances under which one might allow it. In that case, with circumstances strictly identified, it would be possible to imagine it to be a universal law that everyone under these specific circumstances could be allowed access to euthanasia.
What will be an ideal response?
Duty theory (a modern, revised version that allows for exceptions to moral rules such as "don't kill," as long as these exceptions are stated beforehand).
