Contemporary Issues Companion - Euthanasia (hardcover edition)

The Supreme Court has ruled that there is no "constitutional right to die," but the question of whether terminally or perhaps merely incurably ill people should be able to have physicians' help in hastening their deaths remains unsettled in the minds of many. This anthology presents varying points of view on euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide in relation to other end-of-life issues, physicians' role in hastening death, euthanasia and the law, euthanasia in practice, and the ethics of euthanasia.
