The moral issues involved in doctors assisting patients to die with dignity are of absolutely central concern to the medical profession, ethicists, and the public at large. The debate is fuelled by cases that extend far beyond passive euthanasia to the active consideration of killing by physicians. The need for a sophisticated but lucid exposition of the two sides of the argument is now urgent. This book supplies that need. Two prominent philosophers, Gerald Dworkin and R. G. Frey present the case for legalization of physician-assisted suicide. One of the best-known ethicists in the US, Sissela Bok, argues the case against.

This volume gathers the contributions of leading researchers in the fields of bioethics, medical law and human rights. By providing an interdisciplinary reading of advance directives regulation against the background of European and International law, this book aims to offer new insights into the most controversial legal issues surrounding the theme of dignity and autonomy at the end of life. Cross-cultural perspectives from Europe, the Americas, Australia and China offer a comparative analysis of legal approaches to end-of-life decision-making and care, including the hotly debated issues of euthanasia and assisted suicide, also giving an account of recent developments in domestic legislation and jurisprudence. Special focus is placed on the Italian legal system and its ongoing discussion on advance directives regulation.

Dans nos sociétés qui croyaient avoir éludé la mort, certaines fins de vie récemment médiatisées sont venues rappeler la tragédie qui se fait jour lorsque la médecine touche à ses limites. Face au vécu quotidien de la maladie, le débat ne peut se résumer à ce seul choix : pour ou contre l'euthanasie. Au-delà de la tentation actuelle de recourir à une législation d'exception, apprendre à mourir, c'est se doter des instruments qui nous permettront d'aborder avec humanité et qualité non seulement la mort mais aussi les moments qui la précèdent.
