In this volume, we ask: What is the meaning of death in contemporary Britain, and in other cultures, and how has it changed over time? The essays in this collection tackle the diverse ways in which death is now experienced in modern society, in the process answering a wide variety of questions: How is death defined by law? Do the dead have legal rights? What is one allowed to have and not have done to one's body after death? What are the rights of next of kin in this respect? What compensation exists for death and how is death valued? What is happening to the law on euthanasia and suicide? Is there a human right to die? What is the principle of sanctity of life? What of criminal offences against the dead? How are the traditions of death still played out in religion? How have customs and traditions of the disposal of bodies and funerals changed? What happens to donated bodies in the biomedical setting where anatomical education is permitted? What processes are employed by police when investigating suspicious deaths? What of representations of death? These and other questions are the subject of this challenging and diverse set of essays."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aDead bodies (Law) 606 $aDeath$xPublic opinion 606 $aDeath$xReligious aspects 606 $aFuneral rites and ceremonies$xLaw and legislation 606 $2Law & society 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDead bodies (Law) 615 0$aDeath$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aDeath$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aFuneral rites and ceremonies$xLaw and legislation. 676 $a344.045 702 $aBrooks-Gordon$b Belinda 712 02$aCambridge Socio-Legal Group. 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451089403321 996 $aDeath rites and rights$92478039 997 $aUNINA
