However, focusing on this approach to defining euthanasia may also lead to counterexamples: such definitions may encompass killing a person suffering from an incurable disease for personal gain ( such as to claim an inheritance ), and commentators such as Tom Beauchamp & Arnold Davidson have argued that doing such would constitute " murder simpliciter " rather than euthanasia.

" Beauchamp & Davidson also highlight Baruch Brody's " an act of euthanasia is one in which one person ... ( A ) kills another person ( B ) for the benefit of the second person, who actually does benefit from being killed ".

" Prior to Draper, Beauchamp & Davidson had also offered a definition which includes these elements, although they offered a somewhat longer account, and one that specifically discounts fetuses in order to distinguish between abortions and euthanasia:

Wreen, in part responding to Beauchamp & Davidson, offered a six part definition:

In the definitions offered by Beauchamp & Davidson and, later, by Wreen, consent on the part of the patient was not considered to be one of their criteria, although it may have been required to justify euthanasia.

Hilda Ellis Davidson ( 1948 ) states that Hel " as a goddess " in surviving sources seems to belong to a genre of literary personification, that the word hel is generally " used simply to signify death or the grave ," and that the word often appears as the equivalent to the English ' death ,' which Davidson states " naturally lends itself to personification by poets.

" Davidson explains that " whether this personification has originally been based on a belief in a goddess of death called Hel is another question ," but that she does not believe that the surviving sources give any reason to believe so.

" Davidson adds that " yet this is not the impression given in the account of Hermod's ride to Hel later in Gylfaginning ( 49 )" and points out that here Hel " with authority as ruler of the underworld " and that from her realm " gifts are sent back to Frigg and Fulla by Balder's wife Nanna as from a friendly kingdom.

Davidson further compares to early attestations of the Irish goddesses Badb ( Davidson points to the description of Badb from The Destruction of Da Choca's Hostel where Badb is wearing a dusky mantle, has a large mouth, is dark in color, and has gray hair falling over her shoulders, or, alternatively, " as a red figure on the edge of the ford, washing the chariot of a king doomed to die ") and The Morrígan.

Davidson concludes that, in these examples, " here we have the fierce destructive side of death, with a strong emphasis on its physical horrors, so perhaps we should not assume that the gruesome figure of Hel is wholly Snorri's literary invention.

Some pawnshops may keep a few unusual, high value items on display to capture the interests of passersby, such as a vintage Harley Davidson motorcycle ; the owner is not typically expecting to sell these items.

One of the founders of this area of brain research is Richard Davidson of the University of Wisconsin – Madison.

Hilda Ellis Davidson says that " the eight-legged horse of Odin is the typical steed of the shaman " and that in the shaman's journeys to the heavens or the underworld, a shaman " is usually represented as riding on some bird or animal.

" Davidson says that while the creature may vary, the horse is fairly common " in the lands where horses are in general use, and Sleipnir's ability to bear the god through the air is typical of the shaman's steed " and cites an example from a study of shamanism by Mircea Eliade of an eight-legged foal from a story of a Buryat shaman.

Davidson says that while attempts have been made to connect Sleipnir with hobby horses and steeds with more than four feet that appear in carnivals and processions, but that " a more fruitful resemblance seems to be on the bier on which a dead man is carried in the funeral procession by four bearers ; borne along thus, he may be described as riding on a steed with eight legs.

" As an example, Davidson cites a funeral dirge from the Gondi people in India as recorded by Verrier Elwin, stating that " it contains references to Bagri Maro, the horse with eight legs, and it is clear from the song that it is the dead man's bier.

" Davidson says that the song is sung when a distinguished Muria dies, and provides a verse:

Davidson adds that the representation of Odin's steed as eight-legged could arise naturally out of such an image, and that " this is in accordance with the picture of Sleipnir as a horse that could bear its rider to the land of the dead.

" This view reflects the position of the later Wittgenstein and his famous game example, and is related to the positions of Quine, Davidson, and others.
