Preventing the will to die or accompanying it; constraining suffering bodies or unbinding them to death –our societies are increasingly confronted with such ethical dilemmas, where the boundary between care and abandonment, between life and dignity, growsblurred. The rise of state-sanctioned regimes of assisted suicide (e.g., medical assistance in dying, euthanasia) in some countries, and the persistence of its criminalization in others, reveal the depth of the tensions surrounding the role of the State in the face of chosen death. To explore these tensions, we propose an analysis of a series of critical cases capable of exposing the aporias and blind spots that permeate the various normative responses to requests for assisted suicide. By examining these zones of indecision–where legal, medical, and social discourses oscillate between protecting the lives of the most vulnerable, recognizing individual sovereignty, and alleviating suffering–we aim to trace the contours of an ethics of discernment: a renewed way of thinking about voluntary death at the crossroads of care, freedom, and responsibility.
