This work is a sequel to Battin's 1994 volume \u003cem\u003eThe Least Worst Death\u003c\/em\u003e. The last ten years have seen fast-moving developments in end-of-life issues, from the legalization of physician-assisted suicide in Oregon and the Netherlands to furor over proposed restrictions of scheduled drugs used for causing death, and the development of \"NuTech\" methods of assistance in dying. Battin's new collection covers a remarkably wide range of end-of-life topics, including suicide prevention, AIDS, suicide bombing, serpent-handling and other religious practices that pose a risk of death, genetic prognostication, suicide in old age, global justice and the \"duty to die,\" and suicide, physician-assisted suicide, and euthanasia, in both American and international contexts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As with the earlier volume, these new essays are theoretically adroit but draw richly from historical sources, fictional techniques, and ample factual material.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margaret Pabst Battin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0195140265\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195140262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.54h x 6.34w x 0.94d","brand":"Margaret Pabst Battin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44119410802943,"sku":"9780195140262","price":93.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c0a88f7d-1dc9-4122-a711-5ef92a673ee3.jpg?v=1687409191","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ending-life-margaret-pabst-battin-9780195140262","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
