Much has been written about whether end-of-life law should change
and what that law should be. However, the barriers and facilitators
of such changes - law reform perspectives - have been virtually
ignored. Why do so many attempts to change the law fail but others
are successful? International Perspectives on End-of-Life Law
Reform aims to address this question by drawing on ten case studies
of end-of-life law reform from the United Kingdom, the United
States, Canada, the Netherlands, Belgium and Australia. Written by
leading end-of-life scholars, the book's chapters blend
perspectives from law, medicine, bioethics and sociology to examine
sustained reform efforts to permit assisted dying and change the
law about withholding and withdrawing life-sustaining treatment.
Findings from this book shed light not only on changing end-of-life
law, but provide insight more generally into how and why law reform
succeeds in complex and controversial social policy areas.
