| Sumario: | GBS_insertPreviewButtonPopup('ISBN:9780748618811');Euthanasia has become increasingly contentious as populations age, and medical and scientific advances continue to transform and extend life. Euthanasia - Choice and Death examines the key philosophical arguments that have underpinned thinking and practice until now:The centrality of choice to our notion of the human being;The challenge of changes to our concept of death in the face of medical, scientific and technological advances.Gail Tulloch develops a conception of dignity that does not depend on religious assumptions and can promote a broad ethical consensus in a liberal democracy. Examination of landmark cases and the approaches adopted by key countries - the U.S.A., the U.K., the Netherlands, and Australia - ground the book." |
