The pressing and universally relevant issue of euthanasia is
debated in this volume. Euthanasia has become increasingly
contentious as populations age, and medical and scientific advances
continue to transform and extend life. Euthanasia - Choice and
Death examines the key philosophical arguments that have
underpinned thinking and practice up till now: * The centrality of
choice to our notion of the human being; * The challenge of changes
to our concept of death in the face of medical, scientific and
technological advances. Gail Tulloch develops a conception of
dignity that does not depend on religious assumptions and can
promote a broad ethical consensus in a liberal democracy.
Examination of landmark cases and the approaches adopted by key
countries - the U.S.A., the U.K., the Netherlands, and Australia -
ground the book.
