Assisted Suicide

The Liberal, Humanist Case Against Legalization

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents an atheistic case against the legalization of assisted suicide. Critical of both sides of the argument, it questions the assumptions behind the discussion. Yuill shows that our attitudes towards suicide - not euthanasia - are most important to our attitudes towards assisted suicide.
