« De grands enjeux humains traversent la question de l’accès à l’aide médicale à mourir : l’instinct de survie, les réactions devant la mort inéluctable, la dignité et la liberté, le respect et la volonté de mourir, entre autres. Pour savoir comment s’incarnent ces questions, le journaliste et écrivain Normand Cazelais est allé à la rencontre de personnes œuvrant dans le milieu de la santé, de familles et de proches aidants, jusqu’à Véronique Hivon, dont l’action politique a fait avancer la cause et son cadre légal au Québec. Pour mieux comprendre, il a aussi questionné l’histoire, les religions et les croyances d’ici et d’ailleurs, la littérature, la justice et les lois, en quête d’amorces de réponses à partager, à préciser ensemble, en famille comme en société. »--Page 4 de la couverture.

Suffit-il de se dire " contre " l'eugénisme ou l'euthanasie pour se libérer vraiment de ce qui les rend possibles ? Avons-nous dépassé l'eugénisme ou la sélection actuelle des naissances en constitue-t-elle le plein accomplissement ? Quelle est notre liberté face à elle quand on rappelle à l'occasion le " coût d'un mongolien " ? Comment assurer, au terme de l'existence, que, dans pareil contexte, l'euthanasie réalise le " droit de choisir l'heure de sa propre mort " ? Favoriser de bonnes venues au monde implique-t-il une sélection des vies à naître et pouvons-nous nous contenter de " réglementer " l'euthanasie pour que les hommes et les femmes puissent bien le quitter ? Ne faut-il pas, tout au contraire, changer radicalement leur séjour en ce monde pour qu'ils y soient véritablement accueillis du premier au dernier jour de leur vie ? Est-il possible d'apprendre à accompagner la vie sans vouloir en forcer le mouvement et, radicalisée, la volonté de contrôle ne la met-elle pas paradoxalement en péril ? Telles sont quelques-unes des difficiles questions auxquelles cet ouvrage s'efforce d'apporter sa contribution. L'auteur nous invite ici à repenser notre rapport à la naissance, à la vie et à la mort, pour que nous puissions véritablement bien naître, bien être et bien mourir.

The Future of Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia provides the most thorough overview of the ethical and legal issues raised by assisted suicide and euthanasia--as well as the most comprehensive argument against their legalization--ever published. In clear terms accessible to the general reader, Neil Gorsuch thoroughly assesses the strengths and weaknesses of leading contemporary ethical arguments for assisted suicide and euthanasia. He explores evidence and case histories from the Netherlands and Oregon, where the practices have been legalized. He analyzes libertarian and autonomy-based arguments for legalization as well as the impact of key U.S. Supreme Court decisions on the debate. And he examines the history and evolution of laws and attitudes regarding assisted suicide and euthanasia in American society. After assessing the strengths and weaknesses of arguments for assisted suicide and euthanasia, Gorsuch builds a nuanced, novel, and powerful moral and legal argument against legalization, one based on a principle that, surprisingly, has largely been overlooked in the debate--the idea that human life is intrinsically valuable and that intentional killing is always wrong. At the same time, the argument Gorsuch develops leaves wide latitude for individual patient autonomy and the refusal of unwanted medical treatment and life-sustaining care, permitting intervention only in cases where an intention to kill is present. Those on both sides of the assisted suicide question will find Gorsuch's analysis to be a thoughtful and stimulating contribution to the debate about one of the most controversial public policy issues of our day.

Society today, writes Stephen Post, is "hypercognitive": it places inordinate emphasis on people's powers of rational thinking and memory. Thus, Alzheimer disease and other dementias, which over an extended period incrementally rob patients of exactly those functions, raise many dilemmas. How are we to view-and value-persons deprived of what some consider the most important human capacities? In the second edition of The Moral Challenge of Alzheimer Disease, Post updates his highly praised account of the major ethical issues relating to dementia care. With chapters organized to follow the progression from mild to severe and then terminal stages of dementia, Post discusses topics including the experience of dementia, family caregiving, genetic testing for Alzheimer disease, quality of life, and assisted suicide and euthanasia. New to this edition are sections dealing with end-of-life issues (especially artificial nutrition and hydration), the emerging cognitive-enhancing drugs, distributive justice, spirituality, and hospice, as well as a critique of rationalistic definitions of personhood.The last chapter is a new summary of practical solutions useful to family members and professionals.
