Lawful Exit The Limits of Freedom for Help in Dying

In the U.S. it remains a crime for anybody to actively assist another person to die whatever the circumstances, even if their dying happens to be painfully prolonged. Humphry analyzes why the attempts so far to reform the law (chiefly in Washington state & California) have failed. This book points a new direction for voluntary euthanasia by emphasizing ethical & practical guidelines to prevent abuse, drawing on the Dutch experience. The unique legal guidelines set up in 1993 by Parliament in the Netherlands are reprinted in full. A uniform, model Death With Dignity ActÓ completes the vital information which every person interested in a human death needs to know.Humphry, Derek is the author of 'Lawful Exit The Limits of Freedom for Help in Dying' with ISBN 9780788199967 and ISBN 078819996X.
