Euthanasia: The Moral Issues

by Stuart E. Rosenbaum, Robert M. Baird (Editor)

Whether it be disconnecting life-support systems, choosing not to resuscitate, administering a lethal overdose, or choosing not to commence life-sustaining measures, the public is deeply should these actions be viewed as "mercy killing", or are they acts of murder pure and simple? Is there a moral difference between "killing" and "letting die"? This book presents nineteen fascinating selections that help clear away the clouds of confusion churning at the centre of this emotionally charged debate.
