In Dershowitz on Killing: How the Law Decides Who Shall Live and
Who Shall Die, Alan Dershowitz-New York Times bestselling author
and one of America's most respected legal scholars-examines the
subjects of death, life, and the law. Alan Dershowitz has been
called "one of the most prominent and consistent defenders of civil
liberties in America" by Politico and "the nation's most
peripatetic civil liberties lawyer and one of its most
distinguished defenders of individual rights" by Newsweek. His
legal career as a criminal defense lawyer has been deeply involved
with death and life decisions. Dershowitz on Killing is a timely
examination of issues and questions that are front and center in
today's society. Employing a philosophical, moral, religious, and
cultural lens to the legal aspects surrounding death and life,
Dershowitz elucidates the role of government to determine who shall
live and who shall die in declaring wars, ordering executions,
authorizing deadly force, permitting or denying abortions,
providing or mandating vaccines, controlling climate change,
allowing or refusing asylum for endangered migrants, and other life
and death rulings. He notes that when the government decides these
choices, it is asked to do so by first determining whether a
"right" is involved, because rights trump mere interest, just as
constitutional restrictions trump legislative and executive
actions. Dershowitz on Killing asserts that the rules governing
death and life decisions should reflect the irreversibility of
death. It is essential reading for anyone interested in or
concerned about how these decisions are allocated among state and
federal; executive, legislative, and judicial; private and
governmental; religious and secular institutions-and how people in
a democracy, through the power of the ballot, have the ultimate say
in these critical decisions.
