From the legislator's perspective it seems less liable to misuse and abuse. And often the availability of assisted suicide, instead of shortening the life of a patient, has proved to prolong it. Public policy has begun to respond to this prospect. Notably in Switzerland and Germany, the attitudes of public bodies towards physician-assisted suicide are in a process of change, partly motivated by the wish to take the edge off the pressure for legalisation of active euthanasia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe present volume focuses on public policy issues related to physician-assisted suicide. It offers a detailed analysis of the current legal standing and practice of physician-assisted suicide in various countries and discusses the ethical principles underlying its legal and professional regulation.

This argument suggests that what is natural is in some ways superior to what is artificial, due to repeated positive connotations associated with the natural. This book presents both a phenomenology and a critique. For the former, Naturalness reviews the role of naturalistic arguments in various domains of everyday language and reasoning as well as in political and ethical debates, especially regarding controversial issues in preservation. For the latter, it critically discusses the persuasiveness of naturalness, both intellectually and morally, and how it is currently no more than an expression of conservatism and resistance to change in basic orientations.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52452171317521,"sku":"NLS9780761863496","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52995959030033,"sku":"NIN9780761863496","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780761863496.jpg?v=1789048048"},{"product_id":"naturlichkeit-book-dieter-birnbacher-9783110185546","title":"Naturlichkeit","description":"In everyday morality, naturalness is a positively charged term.

Deshalb ist er ein stets wiederkehrendes Thema der Philosophie. Es ist zugleich eines der Themen, dessen philosophische Behandlung im Zeitverlauf die radikalsten Wandlungen erfahren hat. Während viele der Aussagen über den Tod, die wir etwa in der Philosophie des Hellenismus finden, heute noch ebenso gültig sind wie vor mehr als 2000 Jahren, haben sich andere überlebt oder sind Gegenstand von Kontroversen geworden. Ursächlich dafür sind sowohl der medizinische und technische Fortschritt, der es erlaubt hat, den Tod weit über seine jahrtausendealten Grenzen hinaus zeitlich zu verschieben, als auch die zunehmend naturalistischen Sichtweisen von Leben und Tod. Der Band diskutiert primär aktuelle Fragen im Umkreis des Todes, wobei anthropologische, metaphysische und ethische Fragen gleichberechtigt angesprochen werden, u. a. Todesdefinition, Möglichkeiten eines ,,guten Todes\", ärztliches Handeln am Lebensende, Überlebenshoffnungen und die auf den Tod gerichteten Emotionen.
