reflection on the nature of a good death. Bringing together a
leading judge and other legal scholars, philosophers, social
scientists, practitioners and parents who present varying accounts
of a good death, the chapters draw from personal experience as well
as policy, practice and academic analysis. Covering themes such as
patients' rights to determine their own good death, considering
their best interests when communication becomes difficult and the
role and responsibilities of health professionals, the book
outlines how ethical healthcare might be achieved when dealing with
assisted suicide by organizations and how end of life services in
general might be improved. It will be of interest to students and
academics working the area of medical law and ethics as well as
health professionals and policy-makers.
