Issues of Life and Death such as abortion, assisted suicide,
capital punishment and others are among the most contentious in
many societies. Whose rights are protected? How do these rights and
protections change over time and who makes those decisions? Based
on the author's award-winning and hugely popular undergraduate
course at the University of Texas, this book explores these
questions and the fundamentally sociological processes which
underlie the quest for morality and justice in human societies. The
Author's goal is not to advocate any particular moral "high ground"
but to shed light on the social movements and social processes
which are at the root of these seemingly personal moral questions.
Under 200 printed pages, this slim paperback is priced and sized to
be easily assigned in a variety of undergraduate courses that touch
on the social bases underlying these contested and contentious
issues.
