Review
..."this book offers one of the most comprehensive tools to date for understanding the physician-assisted suicide debate.."
-Janet Heald Forliani, "Religious Studies Review
"This excellent collection succeeds in expanding the debate about legalizing physician-assisted suicide well beyond its current narrow framework."
-"New England Journal of Medicine
"From protecting the weak to the question of saving health-care money through PAS, the book covers many often contentious subjects."
-"Publishers Weekly
"Physician Assisted Suicide is by far the most comprehensive collection of materials yet....Whether you know little about this issue, or thought that you knew everything there is to know on it, you are bound to learn more from reading this volume."
-Peter Singer, author of "Rethinking Life and Death
"In a field where a debate can easily degenerate into sound-bites, it is refreshing to find a collectionof essays that examines the difficult issues in a thoughtful and balanced fashion. Everyone concerned with the personal, psychological, medical, social, religious, and legal dimensions of physician-assisted suicide needs this volume."
-Alexander M. Capron, Professor of Law and Medicine, University of Southern California Law School
