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.

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.

" 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.

Scholar Hilda Ellis Davidson says that it has been suggested that the figures are partaking in a dance, and that they may have been connected with weddings and linked to the Vanir, representing the notion of a divine marriage, such as in the Poetic Edda poem Skírnismál ; the coming together of the Vanir god Freyr and his love, Gerðr.

Hilda Ellis Davidson theorizes that all of the wives of the gods may have originally been members of the Vanir, noting that many of them appear to have originally been children of jötnar.

Scholar H. R. Ellis Davidson states that Sif may have been an ancient fertility goddess, agreeing with a link between her lustrous hair and fields of golden wheat.

Scholar Hilda Ellis Davidson proposes that Skaði's cult may have thrived in Hålogaland, a province in northern Norway, because " she shows characteristics of the Sami people, who were renowned for skiing, shooting with the bow and hunting ; her separation from Njord might point to a split between her cult and that of the Vanir in this region, where Scandinavians and the Sami were in close contact.

In Skírnismál, Gerðr mentions her brother's slayer in stanza 16, which Davidson states has led to some suggestions that Gerðr may have been connected to Iðunn as they are similar in this way.

Davidson states this may imply that the apple was thought of by the skald as the food of the dead.

Scholar Hilda Ellis Davidson proposes that a cult of the Vanir may have influenced a cult of the Æsir in the waning days of Norse paganism during the Christianization of Scandinavia, potentially resulting in the figure of Óðr in Norse mythology, which she refers to as a " strange double of Odin ".

Alan Davidson notes a " sauce à la hollandoise " from François Marin's Les Dons de Comus ( 1758 ), but since that sauce included flour, bouillon, herbs, and omitted egg yolks, it may not be related to the modern Hollandaise.

Davidson adds that, on the other hand, various other examples of " certain supernatural women " connected with death are to be found in sources for Norse mythology, that they " seem to have been closely connected with the world of death, and were pictured as welcoming dead warriors ," and that the depiction of Hel " as a goddess " in Gylfaginning " might well owe something to these.

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.

Food writer Alan Davidson suggests that the people of Ancient Romans were the first known to have made products of the haggis type.

Al Davis had an enlarged photo of Joe Namath at Oakland's headquarters that depicted the quarterback sprawled out on the ground following a vicious hit from Raider defender Ben Davidson ; the photographed play was said to have broken the quarterback's jaw ( though Namath stated he had broken it on a tough piece of steak, and some claim it was Raiders defensive end Ike Lassiter who injured Namath ).

Donald Davidson is not usually considered a postmodernist, although he and Rorty have both acknowledged that there are few differences between their philosophies.

Davidson opines that " those who have tried to produce a convincing diagram of the Scandinavian cosmos from what we are told in the sources have only added to the confusion ".

Some philosophers ( e. g. Donald Davidson ) have argued that the mental states the agent invokes as justifying his action are physical states that cause the action.

Despite its progress, there are still many fundamental problems faced by this field as " unlike medicine, evaluation is not a discipline that has been developed by practicing professionals over thousands of years, so we are not yet at the stage where we have huge encyclopaedias that will walk us through any evaluation step-by-step ", or provide a clear definition of what evaluation entails ( Davidson, 2005 ).

Alas, Davidson would learn that Katz didn't have the strong resources that he claimed, and was in fact the target of several lawsuits.

From certain indications in the latter and the evidence of some odd leaves discovered by David Laing, it has been concluded that there was an earlier Edinburgh edition, which has been ascribed to Thomas Davidson, printer, and dated c. 1540.

Donald Davidson ( 1969 / 1980 ) attempted to solve the problem by first criticizing earlier thinkers who wanted to limit the scope of akrasia to agents who despite having reached a rational decision were somehow swerved off their “ desired ” tracks.

Eight days earlier, the other team that Davidson owned, the Tampa Bay Lightning of the National Hockey League had won the Stanley Cup in seven games over the Calgary Flames.
