Medically Assisted Death

More about the book

Exploring the morality of medically assisted death, this book delves into complex questions surrounding the rights of individuals facing terminal illness or unbearable suffering. It examines whether competent individuals should be aided in dying and the implications of allowing or denying such assistance. The discussion is supported by case studies from The Netherlands and Oregon, where these practices are legal, and addresses common objections to the concept. The philosophical arguments are reinforced with empirical evidence, making a compelling case for the legal permissibility of specified instances of assisted death.
