出版商概要
"This wonderful book makes a highly valuable and original contribution to our understanding of the complex phenomenon of assisted death. The description of the four existing regimes of assisted death is so well done that -- regardless of the reader's view on this issue -- it constitutes an excellent precondition and starting point for any ethical discussion on the issue." --Chris Gastmans, Catholic University of Leuven
"This book deals with moral, legal and social aspects of assisted death, mainly based on four regimes that have been functioning for many years and for which there is substantial information from the Netherlands, Belgium and Switzerland in Europe, and Oregon in the USA." -- Anticancer Research
