Euthanasia Examined

Abstract

This collection of essays by a distinguished, international team of contributors assesses the case for and against legalizing euthanasia and assisted suicide. The essays, which reflect the three main perspectives in the debate—religious, medical and legal—are grouped according to whether they support or oppose a relaxation in the law. The book provides balanced and comprehensive coverage of this vital topic and includes a detailed introduction by the editor, John Keown, and a select bibliography.
