Description

This book explores the phenomenon of suicide tourism.

As more countries legally permit assisted suicide and do not necessarily bar the participation of non-residents, suicide tourism is becoming a larger and more complex global issue.

The book sets out the parameters for future debate by first contextualizing the practice and identifying its treatment under international and domestic law.

It then analyses the ethical ramifications, weighing up where the state's responsibilities lie, and addressing the controversial roles of accompanying persons.

The book goes on to offer a sociological and cultural analysis of suicide tourism, including interviews with the various stakeholders: policy makers, assisted suicide associations, and medical and patients' organizations, in Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy, and the UK.

The book concludes with a summary of the legal, ethical, political, and sociological dimensions of suicide tourism.
