Is There a Duty to Die? (Biomedical Ethics Reviews) (Biomedical Ethics Reviews): summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Is There a Duty to Die? (Biomedical Ethics Reviews) (Biomedical Ethics Reviews)" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Leading philosophers and bioethicists revisit the disturbing question raised in 1987 by Dr. Margaret Battin: Is there is a duty to die in order to guarantee a just cross-generational distribution of limited health care resources? The essays collected here-including a new article by Dr. Battin-discuss the topic in-depth, providing a critical review of the literature and many new arguments. The debate includes not only those who support such a duty and those who say such a duty cannot be denied, but also those who doubt such a duty to die exists or question whether-if it did exist- it could be implemented without severe problems. Is There a Duty to Die? offers a balanced discussion across a wide range of opinions on the meaning of duty to die, examining every sort of argument for and against the idea. Medical ethicists, and those concerned with end-of-life care, including the hospice community, hospitals, lawyers, legislators, jurists, public-policy makers, and religious leaders, will find it essential reading.
