330   $aCiting cases illustrating the contentious legal issues that modern medicine's ability to prolong the dying process has raised for end-of- life medical decision-making, Smith (political science, U. of North Texas) overviews the history of the US right-to-die movement, and the link between legislative and judicial policies. Applying event history analysis and his typology of policy innovations in a rare empirical study of the diffusion of judicial doctrines and policies, he seeks to explain the determinants of states' permissive policy adoption and reinvention via study of right- to-die policies of the late 1970s to 1994 relating to living will, proxy, and surrogate laws/statutes. Policy salience was found to be a crucial variable. Appends a listing of right-to-die statutes by State, and methodological notes. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
