Those involved in end-of-life decision making must take into
account both legal and ethical issues. This book starts with a
critical reflection of ethical principles including ideas such as
moral status, the value of life, acts and omissions, harm,
autonomy, dignity and paternalism. It then explores the practical
difficulties of regulating end-of-life decisions, focusing on
patients, healthcare professionals, the wider community and issues
surrounding 'slippery slope' arguments. By evaluating the available
empirical evidence, the author identifies preferred ways to
regulate decisions and minimise abuses at the end of life, and
outlines an ethical theory which can provide practical guidance for
those engaged in end-of-life decisions.
