Abstract
Abstract The question of what might constitute “good dying” is a sensitive subject that is being discussed and is socially and politically controversial.

Important impulses for the train of thought stem from Kantian philosophy. I will argue that suicide, as presented by Kant, is not an expression of autonomy, but exactly the opposite: an expression of heteronomy.
