Paperback. Condition: Good. Herbert Hendin's authoritative book addresses the often overlooked psychosocial aspects of suicide--for example, the dramatic increase in suicide among children and adolescents in the United States, due almost solely to the wider availability of guns. He argues that suicide must be (and often is not) discussed in a broad policy context that considers treatment for depression, pain control, and end-of-life options such as hospice care. In this new and expanded edition, now available in paperback, he evaluates current issues in the right-to-die movement, and in a comprehensive new chapter he presents a powerful--and unsettling--portrait of euthanasia and assisted suicide in the Netherlands.…

Paperback. Condition: New. In The Case against Assisted Suicide: For the Right to End-of-Life Care, Dr. Kathleen Foley and Dr. Herbert Hendin uncover why pleas for patient autonomy and compassion, often used in favor of legalizing euthanasia, do not advance or protect the rights of terminally ill patients. Incisive essays by authorities in the fields of medicine, law, and bioethics draw on studies done in the Netherlands, Oregon, and Australia by the editors and contributors that show the dangers that legalization of assisted suicide would pose to the most vulnerable patients. Thoughtful and persuasive, this book urges the medical profession to improve palliative care and develop a more humane response to the complex issues facing those who are terminally ill.…
