 When we look at feminist treatments of physician-assisted dying (PAS), we again see certain kinds of theoretical commitments come to the fore. For instance, an adherence to the feminist care perspective leads Leslie Bender to support PAS (Bender 1992). By contrast, Susan M. Wolf’s application of a feminist approach as manifest by an emphasis upon the significance of gender leads her to conclude that PAS should not be legitimized. Pointing to the insidiousness of certain familiar images—images of feminine self-sacrifice, for instance—as well as to early prominent cases of physician-assisted dying and euthanasia in which the physician was male, the patient female, Wolf warns us of the dangers of the dynamic between the “powerful expert physician and the woman surrendering to his care” (Wolf 1996b: 293).
