Editorial Reviews
Review
One can read this book from the perspective of moral philosophy, political science or clinical medicine....Fatal Freedom is a very serviceable book for physicians, who in one way or the other have to deal with suicide in their medical practice.Medical Sentinel
An intelligent critique of the cultural misunderstanding of suicide....Szasz is particularly persuasive in hacking through the thicket of medical ethics in "right to die" circumstances.Kirkus Reviews
Thomas Szasz advances his defense of autonomy and liberty by speaking out for the right to suicide. Szasz has written many provocative and courageous books. He has done so again.Ideas on Liberty
This is a book for all that wish to expand their awareness of the historical and modern attitudes toward suicide, and explore differing views on this sensitive topic. Definitely written and efficiently organized, this book would be of interest to medical and legal professionals, the clergy, students of these disciplines, as well as lay people. The book is interesting, easy to read and understand.Risk: Health, Safety, & Environment
Review
"Szasz strikes yet another blow for clarity, dignity, and liberty. When we finally break out of our bad habit of medicalizing moral choice, Thomas Szasz will garner well-earned laurels for having shown us that tyranny administered by doctors with good bedside manners is tyranny nonetheless." - Sheldon Richman, Editor The Freeman: Ideas on Liberty
