Dying Right provides an overview of the Death With Dignity movement, a history of how and why Oregon legalized physician-assisted suicide, and an analysis of the future of physician-assisted suicide. Engaging the question of how to balance a patient's sense about the right way to die, a physician's role as a healer, and the state's interest in preventing killing, Dying Right captures the ethical, legal, moral, and medical complexities involved in this ongoing debate.

La médecine moderne nous fait vivre plus longtemps, elle doit aussi nous permettre de mourir plus dignement, de quitter ce monde paisiblement et sans souffrances, de déterminer, si nous le souhaitons, le moment et les conditions de notre mort. Pourtant cette dernière liberté n'est toujours pas reconnue, et bien des vérités sur la façon dont nous finissons notre vie restent obstinément cachées. Dans ce livre, François de Closets nous révèle d'abord que la mort volontaire, interdite par la loi, est une pratique médicale courante. Elle concerne au moins le tiers des décès en France. Actes illégaux, toujours clandestins, effectués dans les pires conditions. Pour les médecins comme pour les patients. L'interdit a en outre créé la mort à deux vitesses. D'un côté, ceux qui disposent de relations et bénéficient, s'ils le désirent, d'une fin douce et médicalisée. De l'autre, les malades ordinaires, soumis à l'arbitraire médical, qui se voient refuser l'ultime délivrance ou bien, au contraire, imposer la mort à leur insu. Que faire ? La loi n'a pas à trancher le débat " pour ou contre l'euthanasie ", car il s'agit d'un choix personnel et qui doit le rester. Elle doit seulement permettre à chacun, ceux qui refusent l'euthanasie comme ceux qui la demandent, d'exercer sa dernière liberté. François de Closets s'appuie sur des témoignages bouleversants, des preuves irréfutables, des vérités occultées pour apporter des réponses qui nous concernent tous.

There are few issues more divisive than what has become known as ""the right to die."" One camp upholds ""death with dignity,"" regarding the terminally ill as autonomous beings capable of forming their own judgment on the timing and process of dying. The other camp advocates ""sanctity of life,"" regarding life as intrinsically valuable, and that should be sustained as long as possible. Is there a right answer? Raphael Cohen-Almagor takes a balanced approach in analyzing this emotionally charged debate, viewing the dispute from public policy and international perspectives. He offers an interdisciplinary, compelling study in medicine, law, religion, and ethics. It is a comprehensive look at the troubling question of whether physician-assisted suicide should be allowed. Cohen-Almagor delineates a distinction between active and passive euthanasia and discusses legal measures that have been invoked in the United States and abroad. He outlines reasons non-blood relatives should be given a role in deciding a patient's last wishes. As he examines euthanasia policies in the Netherlands and the 1994 Oregon Death with Dignity Act, the author suggests amendments and finally makes a circumscribed plea for voluntary physician-assisted suicide. This text takes a balanced approach in analyzing the emotionally charged debate of euthanasia, viewing the dispute from public policy and international perspectives. The author offers an interdisciplinary study in medicine, law, religion and ethics.

À priori l'humanisme occidental, la tradition bouddhique japonaise et la science contemporaine ont si peu de valeurs communes que la seule idée d'un dialogue apparaît au mieux comme une pieuse naïveté. Il fallait un homme de la trempe de Daisaku Ikeda pour relever un pareil défi. Délaissant les clichés et les idées reçues, il aborde sans détour les grandes questions auxquelles sont confrontées les sociétés contemporaines : le cancer, le sida, la mort dans la dignité, la fécondation in vitro, l'éthique biomédicale... Les répliques de René Simard, chercheur dans le domaine de la biologie moléculaire et génétique et de Guy Bourgeault, bioéthicien, ne sont pas moins percutantes. Au-delà des barrières linguistiques et culturelles sont ainsi esquissées les bases d'un véritable nouvel art de vivre.
