Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Euthanasia, Ethics and the Law argues that the law governing the ending of life in England and Wales is unclear, confused and often contradictory. It shows that the rules are in competition because the ethical principles underlying them are so diverse and conflicting. This book covers topics including the Diane Pretty litigation, Lord Joffe's Assisted Dying for the Terminally Ill Bill, the advent of 'death tourism' and the real status of involuntary and passive euthanasia in English law.
