This book assesses the desirability of legalising euthanasia. From
the ethical perspective, euthanasia raises many important issues
including the right to life, the right to liberty, the avoidance of
unnecessary pain, the appropriate allocation of medical resources,
and the rights and duties of doctors. Other relevant considerations
include the improving standard of palliative care and the «
slippery slope argument. The central arguments for and against
euthanasia are evaluated against the background of the leading
contemporary moral theories. This book seeks to cut through the
rhetoric that has become a feature of the debate and asks whether
there is a sound reason for denying the wishes of individuals who
express their wish to die.
