Alcuni sostengono che il "pendio scivoloso" che si potrebbe determinare dopo la legalizzazione dell'eutanasia e del suicidio assistito potrebbe aprire la porta a pratiche eutanasiche che vanno oltre quelle consentite dalla legge. A questo proposito, prendiamo in considerazione tre circostanze specifiche in cui crediamo che questo potrebbe accadere: 1) le tecniche di eutanasia potrebbero essere applicate in pazienti psichiatrici non terminali e allo stesso modo in quelli con disturbi mentali o disabilità intellettuali; 2) l'eutanasia potrebbe essere effettuata su adolescenti, bambini e neonati; e 3) l'eutanasia involontaria potrebbe essere eseguita. Il contributo fornisce dati specifici su queste tre situazioni che supportano la conclusione che tutte e tre hanno già luogo. Allo stesso tempo, viene realizzata una valutazione etica di queste pratiche che consideriamo illecite.
