Law, Immunization and the Right to Die (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Law, Immunization and the Right to Die focuses on the urgent matter of legal appeals and judicial decisions on assisted death. Drawing on key cases from the United Kingdom and Canada, the book focuses on the problematic paternalism of legal decisions that currently deny assisted dying. Challenging the socio-political logic of neoliberalism, the issue of assisted dying goes beyond the predominant legal concern with protecting - or immunizing - individuals from one another, in favour of minimal interference. The book, then, calls for a new kind of politics: one that might affirm people and their finitude both more collectively, and more compassionately.
