In "The Case against Assisted Suicide: For the Right to
End-of-Life Care," Dr. Kathleen Foley and Dr. Herbert Hendin
uncover why pleas for patient autonomy and compassion, often used
in favor of legalizing euthanasia, do not advance or protect the
rights of terminally ill patients. Incisive essays by authorities
in the fields of medicine, law, and bioethics draw on studies done
in the Netherlands, Oregon, and Australia by the editors and
contributors that show the dangers that legalization of assisted
suicide would pose to the most vulnerable patients. Thoughtful and
persuasive, this book urges the medical profession to improve
palliative care and develop a more humane response to the complex
issues facing those who are terminally ill.
