Euthanasia: All That Matters by Richard Huxtable
The Dignitas clinic in Switzerland may be a long way away. But the issues around euthanasia can suddenly become very close to home. To many, it seems remarkable that in a society where freedom of choice is eulogised, thousands of people find that there is one last choice that they are not free to make. But as this book will show, euthanasia is an issue at the intersection of new technology, old laws, and timeless ethical quandaries, so that even apparently clear-cut cases have many contradictions. Drawing on the latest research and cases from around the world, Richard Huxtable drills deep into the key issues around euthanasia. His is a new, balanced look at an important issue, and it will appeal to lawyers, medical students and - most importantly - those who find themselves or their relatives faced with end of life dilemmas.
Richard Huxtable is Reader in Medical Ethics and Law, and Deputy Director of the Centre for Ethics in Medicine, at Bristol University. He is a Trustee of the National Council for Palliative Care, and Chair of its Ethics forum. He has frequently contributed to mainstream media, including BBC1 and Radio 4.
