Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book examines the right-to-die issues facing society now that vast improvements in public health care and medicine have resulted in people not only living longer but taking much longer to die, often in great pain and suffering. It covers the legal aspects and the politics of the controversy, analyzes the battles in state and federal courts, and supplies primary sources illustrating the political, medical, legal, religious, and ethical landscape of the right to die. |
