Why Is Margaret Battin Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Margaret Pabst Battin, also known as Peggy Battin, is an American philosopher, medical ethicist, author, and a current distinguished professor at the University of Utah. She is a supporter of assisted suicide and has worked extensively on ethical aspects of this issue. In 1993, she was named a Spinoza Chair at the University of Amsterdam for her studies on assisted suicide. Battin is a Hastings Center Fellow. In 2008, Battin's husband became quadriplegic after a bicycle accident, which caused her to refine and augment her thinking about assisted suicide; he died in 2013 after he requested to turn off his life support.
