Death talk : the case against euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide / Margaret Somerville

Death is an inevitable part of life and until the last few decades, we spoke of it as part of our religious practice. Today, euthanasia allows us a new context in which to speak of death.

One school of thought on the topic of death believes that when you pass your "best before" date, you should be checked out as quickly, cheaply and efficiently as possible.

Another school of thought believes that we should explore the mystery and meaning in death and that by legalizing euthanasia we would not have the ability to find the meaning in death. This is the stance Margaret Somerville takes in Death talk : the case against euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide.
