This review is from: Sex, Drugs, Death, and the Law: An Essay on Human Rights and Overcriminalization (Paperback)
Anyone who believes that the war on drugs is a folly, that criminalization of prostitution is an abuse of women's right to their own bodies, and that the ban on eutanasia is pure cruelty - will find all the legal and ethical arguments systematically elucidated. But the beauty of this book is that it provides an enormous richness of scholarly apparatus in support of what is just common sense to any liberally minded citizen.Chapter 1, Human Rights and the Public Morality under Constitutional Democracy, has 9 pages of small-print notes after 20 pages of regular-print text. 2, Consensual Homosexuality and the Constitutional Right to Privacy: 33 pp of text, 19 pp of notes. 3, Commercial Sex and the Rights of the Person: 43 pp text, 30 pp notes 4, Drug use and the Rights of the Person: 38 pp.text, 19 pp notes 5, Constitutional Privacy, the Right to Die, and the Meaning of life: 39pp text, 15pp notes 6, Concluding Perspectives: 6pp text, 2 pp notes Bibliography, 24 pages Table of Cases, 3 pages Table of Statutes, 2 pages - Anyone who is serious about our personal freedoms wil find this book a superb research tool and basic ammunition store of arguments. |
