A rapidly aging population, changing medical technology and public and professional attitudes towards euthanasia compels governments to address the issue of legalizing physician-assisted suicide. The book assesses the arguments against the legalization of physician-assisted suicide and finds them weak and insufficient. It then evaluates arguments justifying the legalization of physician-assisted suicide. The most persuasive of these are autonomy, compassion, and the existence of practical protocols and procedures to regulate physician-assisted suicide.
