Raising the Child “Father Knows Best”?Choice Outstanding Academic Title 2003 Personal rights, such as the right to procreate-or not-and the right to die generate endless debate. This book maps out the legal, political, and ethical issues swirling around personal rights. Howard Ball shows how the Supreme Court has grappled with the right to reproduce and to abort, and takes on the issue of auto-euthanasia and assisted suicide, from Karen Ann Quinlan through Kevorkian and just recently to the Florida case of the woman who was paralyzed by a gunshot from her mother and who had the plug pulled on herself. For the last half of the twentieth century, the justices of the Supreme Court have had to wrestle with new and difficult life and death questions for them as well as for doctors and their patients, medical ethicists, sociologists, medical practitioners, clergy, philosophers, law makers, and judges. The Supreme Court in the Intimate Lives of Americans offers a look at these issues as they emerged and examines the manner in which the men and women of the U.S. Supreme Court addressed them.Human reproductionLaw and legislationUnited StatesHistoryAbortionLaw and legislationUnited StatesHistoryRight to dieLaw and legislationUnited StatesHistoryHuman reproductionLaw and legislationHistory.AbortionLaw and legislationHistory.Right to dieLaw and legislationHistory.344.730419Ball Howard1937-729283MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783259303321The Supreme Court in the intimate lives of Americans3855390UNINA
