Death and medical power. |
| Резюме: |
Since the 1970s, euthanasia has been a topic of continual debate worldwide. This book presents a detailed description of the debate as well as a critical analysis of the most salient aspects of euthanasia practice in the Netherlands. The authors argue that euthanasia should be understood within a historical context as a protest against medical power. The book explores many of the arguments about the Dutch "experiment" that are relevant to other countries currently considering legislation in this area. |
