By offering views from a range of disciplines - including bioethics, law, medicine and religion - it draws attention to the variety of questions to be addressed, such as: should assistance in suicide be confined to the terminally ill, or should any rational person be able to ask for a doctor’s help in ending life? Everyone concerned with the personal, psychological, medical, social, religious, and legal dimensions of physician assisted suicide should find this book of interest.
