A Response to Damien Keown’s Suicide, Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia: a Buddhist Perspective

The author comments on an earlier article by D Keown, arguing that the Buddhist perspective of end-of-life issues which Keown presents is only one possible interpretation, & that because there are plural systems of Buddhist ethics rather than a single one, there could be variable authentic Buddhist views on end-of-life issues. The intricacies of Keown’s arguments are briefly explored & commented upon.
