Kevin Yuill goes straight to the heart of a difficult issue.
Critical of both sides of the discussion, this book presents an
up-to-date analysis of the direction discussion is taking, showing
that atheists, libertarians, those favouring abortion rights and
stem-cell research should stand beside their religious compatriots
in opposing legalization of assisted suicide. The author shows that
the real issue behind the debate is not euthanasia but suicide.
Rather than focusing on tragic cases, he indicates the real damage
that will be done if we affirm the suicidal wishes of even a small
segment of the population. Analyzing the movement for the right to
die in historical terms, Yuill shows that, though many proponents
of a change in the law believe they are rationalist heirs of such
thinkers as John Stuart Mill, legalizing assisted suicide will
reduce privacy and freedom. Finally, Yuill suggests a radical
alternative to legalization of assisted suicide that would embrace
both the cause of freedom and the anxieties of many about securing
good deaths.
