Assisted Dying by Graham Box
Once almost universally prohibited, assisted dying is now legal in a growing number of countries across Europe, North America, Australasia and South America. In the UK, as elsewhere, the question remains deeply contested, raising profound legal, moral and practical challenges.
This book draws on extensive original research into Westminster Parliamentary debates, as well as international evidence from jurisdictions where assisted dying is legal, in order to clarify the key arguments for and against reform.
Examining principles, stakeholder perspectives and judicial rulings, it offers the knowledge, context and sensitivity to enable readers to critically engage with one of the most complex and pressing challenges in contemporary practice and policy.
Graham Box, a former NHS manager and patient charity CEO, has taught Politics at Oxford University, Law at Reading University and currently lectures in Ethics at the Foundation for International Education.
Kenneth Chambaere is Professor of Public Health, Sociology & Ethics of the End of Life at the End-of-Life Care Research Group at Ghent University and Vrije Universiteit Brussel.
