Philosophy; Ethical issues: euthanasia & right to die

Assisted dying is perhaps one of the most divisive issues of the modern age, generating endless headlines and moral debates. Published in conjunction with the organization Dignity in Dying, this important new book provides a forum for expert commentators in a variety of fields, including religion and medicine, to explore whether the most humane response to the torment and helplessness of certain severely incapacitated individuals is to assist them in their wish to die. Assisted Dying – who makes the final choice? is edited by two proponents of greater choice at the end of life, and all the contributors support the need to change the law.
