This book helps address the need for an authoritative, advanced survey on the ethical issues of end-of-life care, particularly as technology continues to advance and palliative care becomes more widely recognized. Because of the breadth and depth of topics, it could serve as an up-to-date textbook on ethics at the end of life. Seasoned scholars, students needing an introduction to the issues, and clinicians seeking practical guidance all will find something useful to their work. -Doodys Health Science

This book provides a varied and interesting compilation of chapters combining the ethical and historical legal landmarks that have shaped current policy and thinking on these issues. The chapters are neatly bounded allowing the reader to dip in and out according to their interests, while the span of topics is generally comprehensive, covering ethics in end of life care right from pre-natal through to gerontology. ... It is a worthy addition to the field. * Eleanor Wilson, Mortality *
