I
Physician-assisted death is now legal in six states, and is the subject of
intense political and legal battles across the country. As our population
ages, the debate continues. What are the main dividing lines in this debate?
What are the principal ethical questions involved? In Physician-Assisted
Death, philosopher and ethicist L.W. Sumner equips readers with everyr
thing they need to know to take a reasoned and informed position on
these and similar questions. He provides much-needed context by situ^֊
ating physician-assisted death within the wider framework of end-of-life
care, and explains why the movement to legalize it now enjoys such strong
public support by reviewing the movement's successes to date, beginning
in Oregon in 1994 and now extending to twelve jurisdictions across three
continents. By providing an overview of the main ethical and legal argu^-
ments on both sides, Sumner provides a clear and accessible explanation
of why we have yet to resolve the controversy. Lastly, Physician-Assisted
Death considers the future political and judicial actions that are necessary
for broader reform of end-of-life care. All those who care about how we
handle end-of-life dilemmas will benefit from Sumner's deeply informed
expertise on this important issue. |
