Life's Worth

The Case against Assisted Suicide

Beschreibung

Mary Shivanandan "Meticulously taking apart the arguments in favor of euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide, Arthur Dyck shows how, ultimately, they undermine the very basis of human community. He brilliantly defends the 700-year-old Anglo-American tradition of law favoring life, which depends equally on the rights tradition of Hobbes and Locke and the Christian belief in humanity made in God's image. Enriched with anecdotes and sociological research, this concise, clearly written book is invaluable for experts and general readers alike."
