Explores dilemmas at the intersection of medicine, philosophy and law. Addressing euthanasia, abortion, and the care of groups including the elderly, the demented, and children, the author identifies a crisis both in ethics and in empowerment. This book explores the controversial dilemmas which meet at the intersection of medicine philosphy and law - questions concerning killing and not killing which are faced daily in health care. They embrace euthanasia, abortion, the care of the elderly and the demented, the care of the mentally ill children and those in a persistent vegative state. Who Owns our Bodies? identifies a crisis both in ethics and in empowerment as people face often neccessarily wretched choices. It seeks a framework of guidance for practical decision-making and focuses on two key issues. First who decides on an individual's quality of life and thus on their health care treatments? Second how can patients be empowered with a structure to enable choice, self-realization, self-reflection and self-responsibility? John Spiers with characteristic clarity and verve offers a fundamental choice between health care experienced as hierarchy and control and the alternative of choice and self-responsibilty. He argues that health care must rely on patients deciding how much power they have, not on professionals deciding how much to grant them.

Margaret Otlowski investigates the complex and controversial issue of active voluntary euthanasia. She critically examines the criminal law prohibition of medically administered active voluntary euthanasia in common law jurisdictions, and carefully looks at the situation as handled in practice. The evidence of patient demands for active euthanasia and the willingness of some doctors to respond to patients' requests is explored, and an argument for reform of the law is made with reference to the position in the Netherlands (where active voluntary euthanasia is now openly practiced).

Readers will be glad they pursued an unusual woman's intellectual and personal journey."-Booklist "An accessible, wonderfully written book packed with wisdom and insight."-Denver Post "Absorbing and satisfying."-Gertrude Reif Hughes, Women's Review of Books
