Loretta M. Kopelman & Kenneth A. DeVille, editors
Physician-Assisted Suicide:
What Are the Issues?

(Dordrecht, Netherlands: Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2001) 235 pages
(ISBN: 0-7923-7142-9; hardcover)
(Medical call number: W50P578 2001)

Collected papers from a conference in March 1998.
The doctors and professors invited to speak were already well-known
for their views on the question of physician participation
in the decision to bring life to an end.
Most favor allowing physicians to assist a voluntary death.

The issues are explored deeply
as they were understood at the end of the 20th century.
But no new ground was broken by these contributors.

If you would like to read better (or more recent) books on the same themes,
search the Internet for the following exact expression:
"Books on the Right-to-Die".

James Leonard Park, advocate of the right-to-die with careful safeguards.
