Last Rights?: Assisted Suicide And Euthanasia Debated
Available To Downloads

The morality of assisted suicide and euthanasia has become one of the most hotly contested issues of our time. Yet the problem is not new. The major arguments have been wrestled with both in pagan antiquity and throughout the history of the church. From Plato, Augustine, and Aquinas, from Donne and Hume to our present day, all kinds of voices have entered the fray. This comprehensive anthology of primary sources is the essential reference work for anyone interested in understanding the arguments on both sides. The book examines the moral, theological, medical, and legal perspectives in depth, and each section of essays is accompanied by a helpful introduction guiding readers through the debate.
