Angels of Death - Exploring the Euthanasia Underground
Roger Magnusson
Paperback book
|
|
Angels of Death discusses the issues surrounding extra-legal assisted suicide and euthanasia by physicians, nurses, technicians, and other health care professionals who provide care to seriously ill patients and patients with AIDS who are dying. It is based on a snowball sample of 49 detailed interviews carried out over a period of three years with health professionals specializing in the care of patients with the human immunodeficiency virus and AIDS, principally in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia, and in San Francisco. This book is about cooperative euthanasia -- that is, physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia occurring underground, mainly among patients with AIDS at home and those in large, tertiary-care hospitals in the United States and Australia. |

Willing to Listen - Wanting to Die
Helga Kuhse
Paperback book |
|
Our society does not permit doctors to give direct aid in dying to those who
request it, though the moral issues are endlessly debated. This book is
largely about the experiences of those who have been confronted by death and
dying.
It shares the voices of some who want to die, and of many willing to listen:
patients, relatives, doctors and nurses, religious ministers, ethicists and
philosphers. A horsetrainer reflects on her progressive, disabling disease.
A widowed teacher remembers the dying husband who needed help to end his
suffering. A doctor relates his conversation from fear to understanding and advocacy of help to the dying. A Minister discusses why direct aid in dying
is compatable with Christian beliefs. |
