It is a collection of high-quality papers, many of which should be of interest to anyone working on the philosophy of death, and of particular interest to ethicists with a focus on the beginning or the end of life. * Karl Ekendahl, The Philosophical Quarterly *

This remarkable collection of essays sets for itself DL and achieves DL the rare goal of bringing together philosophers, medical doctors and health economists to have an important dialogue about the harm of death. -- Molly Gardner, University of Florida, Bioethics 10.1111/bioe.12807 The questions raised [in this book] are both important and universal. -- Erling Rimehaug, Vart Land Questions about the evaluation of death, in other words, have so far...remained in the theoretical (mostly philosophical) domain and [have] lost sight of the answers to these questions [that] have very serious and far-reaching consequences in everyday life. The collection in front of us is an attempt correcting that omission. As its editors note in the introduction, the goal is to challenge philosophers, physicians, and health economists to address several neglected and unresolved issues at the intersection of the harmfulness of death and health policy (p. 5). -- It is a collection of high-quality papers, many of which should be of interest to anyone working on the philosophy of death, and of particular interest to ethicists with a focus on the beginning or the end of life. --Karl Ekendahl, The Philosophical Quarterly
