`...a fresh approach...this book is likely to have broad appeal,
across disciplines and across
borders. It is a well composed, tightly written, thoughtful work
which is at the
same time both analytical and searching...lays a foundation for
more informed and reflective analysis of legal change in the area
of assisted dying in future scholarship.'
Margaret Otlowski, MEDICAL LAW REVIEW
`...This is a well argued and scholarly book that provides the
reader with a clear overview of international variations in the law
covering assisted dying, and a compelling argument for
understanding national contexts before generalising from one
nation's experience to that of another. I can recommend this book
strongly to sociologists who want to understand the role played by
the law in this issue...
