A Good Death?: Law and Ethics in Practice

By Lynn Hagger and Simon Woods

This volume presents an interdisciplinary perspective on end-of-life matters, covering themes such as patients' rights to determine their own good death, considering their best interests when communication becomes difficult and the role and responsibilities of health professionals. The book also outlines how ethical healthcare might be achieved when dealing with assisted suicide by organizations and how end of life services in general might be improved. It is of interest to students and academics working in the area of medical law and ethics as well as health professionals and policy-makers.
