Description

Euthanasia and Physician-Assisted Suicide by Gerald Dworkin, R. G. Frey, Sissela Bok The debate over doctors assisting patients to die with dignity is a pressing concern for the medical profession, ethicists, and the public alike. This book provides a comprehensive exploration of the moral and factual issues at the heart of the controversy. Two prominent philosophers present differing views on the matter: Gerald Dworkin argues that, in certain circumstances, it may be morally and legally permissible for physicians to provide patients with the means to end their lives. In contrast, Sissela Bok contends that the legalization of euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide would pose significant risks and fail to adequately address the needs of those nearing the end of life. Through a thorough examination of the subject, this book enables readers to form their own opinions on how to approach this complex decision.
