{"product_id":"ending-life-margaret-pabst-battin-9780195140279","title":"Ending Life: Ethics and the Way We Die","description":"Margaret Pabst Battin has established a reputation as one of the top philosophers working in bioethics today. 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 a 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.\" It also examines suicide, physician-assisted suicide, and euthanasia in both American and international contexts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs 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 0195140273\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195140279\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 354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.14h x 6.48w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2008 pg. 1711","brand":"Margaret Pabst Battin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43914193436927,"sku":"9780195140279","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ec661826-87e6-43a7-a3e6-4113eaf71f6a.jpg?v=1680640878","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ending-life-margaret-pabst-battin-9780195140279","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
