本文的目的，在於從刑法父權主義的角度，檢討對被害人生命法益處分權之限制，具體層次上則涉及加工自殺罪的正當性判斷。在檢視各種父權思想內涵之後，作者認為，只有容許欠缺自願性時之國家干預的軟性父權主義，始能脫免典型父權主義邏輯，並與自由主義取得相容性。但相較於一般所採的高度標準，本文主張僅需具有一般認知與判斷能力即可滿足自願性要求。在此理解下，加工自殺罪所描述的各種行為態樣，都已預設了當事人的自願性，因此該罪並無正當性。

The purpose of this article is to review the limit on the victim’s right todispose of life from the perspective of paternalism. The focus would be thelegitimacy of the offence of assisted suicide. After reviewing all the attempts tojustify the paternalism, the author finds that the soft paternalism, which allowsthe governmental involvement in the case lack of voluntariness, is compatiblewith the liberalism and can avoid fallowing the typical logic of paternalism. Theauthor holds that instead of the high level of voluntariness, which is argued bythe soft paternalism, the natural competence of autonomy should have sufficedfor the requirement of voluntariness. In this context, all the behaviors prescribedas the offence of assisted suicide have preconditioned the voluntariness of thevictim. Therefore, there is no legitimacy for this offence.
