The right to life is a core human right which has not yet received
the detailed legal analysis that it requires. This book provides
detailed, critical analysis of the controversial human right to
life and, in particular, assesses the weight of conflicting
interests which could and/or should serve to override the right.
This contemporary study of the right to life focuses on the legal,
as well as ethical, issues raised by the value of life in modern
day society. It seeks to analyze the development, meaning and value
of the fundamental human right to life in the context of its
conflicts with other competing interests. The book begins with an
overview of the right to life in which the concept of life itself
is first analyzed, before both the right and its legal protection
and enforcement are subjected to historical, philosophical and
comparative analysis. The remainder of the book identifies, and
assesses the merits of, various competing interests. These comprise
armed conflict; prevention of crime; rights of others; autonomy;
quality of life; and finite resources.
The right to life is unusual in having potential application to so
many of today's ethically controversial questions. This new work
investigates specific topics of current political, legal and
ethical concern such as the right to life during international
conflicts, the role of lethal force in law enforcement, the death
penalty, the right to life of a foetus in the context of legalized
abortion, and the significance of quality of life and autonomy
issues in respect of euthanasia and assisted suicide.
