Top notch scholarship

Two of the most reknowned scholars in bioethics have assembled a high quality collection of scholarly material which is a necessary resource for those seriously engaged in bioethical inquiry concerning death. Many facets of the issue of death and dying are treated: the definition of death, ethics of euthanasia, how we should care for the dying, etc. It is a most up-to-date text which continues the 25-year-old heated discussion into the mechanics and meaning of human death.
