In this book, C. G. Prado addresses the difficult question of when
and whether it is rational to end one's life in order to escape
devastating terminal illness. He specifically considers this
question in light of the impact of multiculturalism on perceptions
and judgements about what is right and wrong, permissible and
impermissible. Prado introduces the idea of a 'coincidental
culture' to clarify the variety of values and commitments that
influence decision. He also introduces the idea of a 'proxy
premise' to deal with reasoning issues that are raised by
intractably held beliefs. Primarily intended for medical ethicists,
this book will be of interest to anyone concerned about the ability
of modern medicine to keep people alive, thereby forcing people to
choose between living and dying. In addition, Prado calls upon
medical ethicists and practitioners to appreciate the value of a
theoretical basis for their work.
