This book explores the phenomenon of suicide tourism. As more
countries legally permit assisted suicide and do not necessarily
bar the participation of non-residents, suicide tourism is becoming
a larger and more complex global issue. The book sets out the
parameters for future debate by first contextualizing the practice
and identifying its treatment under international and domestic law.
It then analyses the ethical ramifications, weighing up where the
state's responsibilities lie, and addressing the controversial
roles of accompanying persons. The book goes on to offer a
sociological and cultural analysis of suicide tourism, including
interviews with the various stakeholders: policy makers, assisted
suicide associations, and medical and patients' organizations, in
Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy, and the UK. The book concludes
with a summary of the legal, ethical, political, and sociological
dimensions of suicide tourism.
