本文的目的,在于从刑法父权主义的角度,检讨对被害人生命法益处分权之限制,具体层次上则涉及加工自杀罪的正当性判断。在检视各种父权思想内涵之后,笔者认为,只有容许欠缺自愿性时之国家干预的软性父权主义,始能脱免典型父权主义逻辑,并与自由主义取得兼容性。但相较于一般所采的高度标准,本文主张仅需具有一般认知与判断能力即可满足自愿性要求。在此理解下,加工自杀罪所描述的各种行为态样,都已预设了当事人的自愿性,因此该罪并无正当性。
<<The purpose of this article is to review the limit on the victim’s right to dispose of life from the perspective of paternalism. The focus would be the legitimacy of the offence of assisted suicide. After reviewing all the attempts to justify the paternalism,the author finds that the soft paternalism,which allows the governmental involvement in the case lack of voluntariness,is compatible with the liberalism and can avoid following the typical logic of paternalism. The author holds that instead of the high level of voluntariness,which is argued by the soft paternalism,the natural competence of autonomy should have sufficed for the requirement of voluntariness. In this context,all the behaviors prescribed as the offence of assisted suicide have preconditioned the voluntariness of the victim. Therefore,there is no legitimacy for this offence.
