Answer:
A, B, E
Explanation:
A: Euthanasia must be legal for it to be morally <em>and</em> legally permissible. If it is illegal, it's basically considered murder in the area.
B: Euthanasia means to relieve someone of their pain by ending their life. This is a very grave decision that has irreversible consequences. If there are other ways to relieve the patient's suffering that are much less harmful, they should come before ending the patient's life.
C: Ending a life for the benefit of others is immoral because it is an irreversible consequence. You are taking the life of another human for other people to temporarily feel better. That is not okay and should never be considered as a justifiable factor.
D: You would be taking the life of someone else to make yourself an exemplar for others. That's basically exploiting their death for your benefit. That is immoral because you are not considering the best interest and well-being of the patient.
E: The doctor and patient must have a previous agreement to provide euthanasia because if there was no such agreement, it would be against or without the patient's consent. This would be immoral because you are not taking into consideration the decisions and rights of the patient.

These are my opinions, but it's up to you to decide the best options based on your morals and social customs. Good luck!
Answer: c. Moved away from a strictly rational reasoning model for rational thought.
Recently, the rational choice theory has been criticized for leaving out some important factors that might influence the choices people make. Institutions and uncertainty can lead people to make a choice they would not have made under unconstrained circumstances solely dependent on reason. Therefore, new concepts have arisen, such as the "bounded rationality" idea. This is an attempt to recognize the limits that rationality has in real life.
Some works that have dealt with this problematic are: <em>Pathologies of Rational Choice Theory</em> (Green and Shapiro, 1994) and <em>Neuropolitics</em> (William E. Connolly, 2002).
