Physician-assisted death : what everyone needs to know / L.W. Sumner. by Sumner, L. W., author. New York, NY : Oxford University Press, [2017] Subjects Assisted suicide.   Euthanasia.   Right to die. ISBN:  9780190490171 (paperback ; alkaline paper) : 0190490179 (paperback ; alkaline paper) 9780190490188 (hardcover) 0190490187 (hardcover) Series:  What everyone needs to know. Description:  xv, 243 pages ; 21 cm. Requests:  0 Summary:  Physician-assisted death is now legal in six states, and is the subject of intense political and legal battles across the country. As our population ages, the debate continues. What are the main dividing lines in this debate? What are the principal ethical questions involved? Philosopher and ethicist L.W. Sumner equips readers with everything they need to know to take a reasoned and informed position on these and similar questions. He provides much-needed context by situating physician-assisted death within the wider framework of end-of-life care, and explains why the movement to legalize it now enjoys such strong public support by reviewing the movement's successes to date, beginning in Oregon in 1994 and now extending to twelve jurisdictions across three continents. By providing an overview of the main ethical and legal arguments on both sides, Sumner provides a clear and accessible explanation of why we have yet to resolve the controversy. Lastly, he considers the future political and judicial actions that are necessary for broader reform of end-of-life care. All those who care about how we handle end-of-life dilemmas will benefit from Sumner's deeply informed expertise on this important issue. -- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 179.7 Su Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 179.7 Su Checked out 07/11/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 179.7 Su Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 179.7 Su Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 179.7 Su Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
