	Euthanasia and Autonomy -- A View from Oxford (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Posted: Sunday, October 09, 2005 at 6:59 pm ET The Bishop of Oxford (Church of England) is not the type to be hung up on orthodoxy.
		I oppose his bill not just because of its social effects and impact on doctor/patient relationships, but because, at its heart, is a flawed understanding of what it is to be a human being, one that places an excessive emphasis on personal autonomy to the neglect of our mutual interdependence.
		Bishop Harries is right to reject the modern idea of personal autonomy -- a concept which effectively eliminates any sense of moral accountability for out personal choices.
