Description
Ronald Dworkin's Life's Dominion is a thought-provoking exploration of two highly contentious issues: abortion and euthanasia. In this book, the renowned lawyer and philosopher examines the moral and constitutional implications of these acts, seeking to understand why they provoke such intense debate in society. Dworkin combines incisive moral reasoning with close readings of individual court decisions and a majestic interpretation of the US Constitution. By doing so, he provides a nuanced analysis that is essential for anyone concerned with the legal status of human life. This book offers a unique perspective on two issues that have long been at the heart of American society's most divisive debates.
