Document Summary
There seems no answer to this question, short of an inquiry into whether it is right or wrong to help a patient in such circumstances to die. But in that case we seem bound, in the end, to come back to discussing such issues as whether it is right to follow moral rules or principles, or to do what will have the best consequences. In the late twentieth century, some feminists offered new criticisms of conventional thought about ethics. Some worry that the adoption of a care approach by nurses may reflect, and even reinforce, stereotypes of women as more emotional and less rational than men. They also fear that it could lead to women continuing to carry a disproportionate burden of caring for others, to the exclusion of adequately caring for themselves. Otherwise they will be saying that the deity is good, and when asked what they mean by.
