Euthanasia and the Right to Die : A Comparative View, Paperback / softback Book

Euthanasia and the Right to Die : A Comparative View Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Sensitive and high-profile public policy issues often benefit from being considered in comparative perspective.

Here, euthanasia and the right to die are examined in the context of the social, legal, and religious settings of a wide range of countries.

The authors employ public opinion data, where available, to illustrate the great disparity between approval of physician-assisted suicide and the general illegality of the practice.

Ultimately, making and implementing laws to ensure a responsible right to die_as the U.S. has been struggling with in Oregon, Michigan, and elsewhere_will be informed by experiences in such places as the Netherlands, Australia, and the only country in the world where euthanasia is a clear-cut medical option: Colombia.
