Law, Immunization and the Right to Die focuses on the urgent matter
of legal appeals and judicial decisions on assisted death. Drawing
on key cases from the United Kingdom and Canada, the book focuses
on the problematic paternalism of legal decisions that currently
deny assisted dying and questions why the law fails to recognize
what many describe as "compassionate motives" for assisted death.
When cases are analyzed as discourses that are part of a larger
socio-political logic of governance, judicial decisions, it is
argued here, reveal themselves as relying on the construction of
neoliberal fictions - fictions that are here elucidated with
reference to Michel Foucault's theoretical insights on pastoral
power and Roberto Esposito's philosophical thesis on immunization.
Challenging the socio-political logic of neoliberalism, the issue
of assisted dying goes beyond the predominant legal concern with
protecting - or immunizing - individuals from one another, in favor
of minimal interference. This book calls for a new kind of
politics: one that might affirm people and their finitude both more
collectively, and more compassionately.
