| Zusammenfassung: | "While it may seem that debates over euthanasia began with Jack Kevorkian, the practice of mercy killings extends back to Ancient Greece and beyond. In America, the debate has raged for well over a century. "Now, in A Merciful End, Ian Dowbiggin offers the first full-scale historical account of one of the most controversial reform movements in America. Drawing on unprecedented access to the archives of the Euthanasia Society of America, interviews with important figures in the movement today, and flashpoint cases such as the tragic fate of Karen Ann Quinlan, Dowbiggin tells the dramatic story of the men and women who struggled throughout the twentieth century to change the nations's attitude - and its laws - regarding mercy killing. In tracing the history of the euthanasia movement, he documents its intersection with other progressive social causes: women's suffrage, birth control, and abortion rights, as well as its uneasy pre-WWII alliance with eugenics. Such links brought euthanasia activists into fierce conflict with Judeo-Christian institutions that worried that "the right to die" might become a "duty to die."" -- BOOK JACKET |
