HW (chapter 25)

1- What's the difference between "active" and "passive" euthanasia?
2- Rachels analyzes the cases of children which Down's syndrome are allowed to die in cases of intestinal obstruction. She then gives an example of Smith's inheritance (p. 229). She asks: Did either men behave better from a moral point of view?  Do you have a counter to Rachels's point on behalf of doctors?
3- Under what circumstances is active euthanasia morally preferable to passive euthanasia?
