Dworkin's philosophical treatment of abortion and euthanasia — arguing that both sides in both debates are really arguing about the 'sanctity of life' (an intrinsic value) rather than about rights.
The sanctity of life: both pro-choice and pro-life positions appeal to the intrinsic value of life — they differ in how that value is understood and weighed. Reframes the abortion debate away from the question of fetal personhood. Euthanasia: a person's own sense of what gives their life meaning should guide end-of-life decisions. Constitutional argument: the establishment clause limits how state can enforce one version of the sacred.
