“…101 If non-voluntary euthanasia is present regardless of legalization, open regulation may be preferable to a covert underground. 102 There is, for example, evidence showing that the presence of consultation with another physician as a safeguard in cases of assisted dying is far less likely to be present in jurisdictions which have not legalized. 103 Even if appropriate baseline-sensitive evidence were to show an increase in the rate of non-voluntary euthanasia following legalization in a particular jurisdiction, such an increase in an open, regulated environment might be preferable to the hidden world of disturbing practices described by Magnusson in which "health care workers who perform euthanasia determine the conditions for their own involvement."…”

This article examines the evidence for the empirical argument that there is a slippery slope between the legalization of voluntary and non-voluntary euthanasia. The main source of evidence in relation to this argument comes from the Netherlands. The argument is only effective against legalization if it is legalization which causes the slippery slope. Moreover, it is only effective if it is used comparatively-to show that the slope is more slippery in jurisdictions which have legalized voluntary euthanasia than it is in jurisdictions which have not done so. Both of these elements are examined comparatively.
