Description

Whether euthanasia or assisted suicide should be legalized is one of the most pressing and profound questions facing legislators, health care professionals, their patients and society at large. This work aims to inform the debate by acquainting anyone interested in this issue with some of the major ethical, legal and clinical and theological issues involved. The essays have been written to be readily intelligible to the general reader.
