Despite it being a crime to assist in euthanasia, prosecutions have been rare. Four decades? worth of opinion polls have shown that a majority of Australians appear to support the legal option of aid-in-dying for those suffering intolerably and without relief near the end of life. Although a significant number of countries and US states have legalised euthanasia and assisted suicide in recent years, Australian federal and state governments have continued to debate the political, legal and ethical implications of legalised voluntary euthanasia. What are the many ethical, religious and practical arguments asserted by those who champion the ?right to life? as opposed to those who assert the ?right to choose? when and how to die? Can palliative care always provide adequate pain relief? If legalised, could voluntary euthanasia be the ?slippery slope? that leads to involuntary or non-voluntary euthanasia? Is voluntary euthanasia dignity in dying, assisted suicide, or homicide? This book presents a range of considered opinions from Australia?s medical profession and opposing pro-life and pro-euthanasia lobby groups. 410 0$aIssues in society (Balmain, N.S.W.) ;$vvolume 359. 606 $aEuthanasia$xMoral and ethical aspects$zAustralia 606 $aEuthanasia$xLaw and legislation$zAustralia 606 $aEuthanasia$xPublic opinion$zAustralia 606 $aPalliative treatment$zAustralia 615 0$aEuthanasia$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aEuthanasia$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aEuthanasia$xPublic opinion 615 0$aPalliative treatment 676 $a174/.24 676 $a179.70994 702 $aHealey$b Justin 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bAuAdUSA 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786728303321 996 $aVoluntary euthanasia debate$93800051 997 $aUNINA
