Sommario/riassunto

Since the 1970's, euthanasia has been a topic of continual debate worldwide. This book presents a description of the debate as well as an analysis of various aspects of euthanasia practice in the Netherlands. It argues that euthanasia should be understood within a historical context as a protest against medical power.
