The Challenge of Euthanasia: An Annotated Bibliography on Euthanasia and Related Subjects

by Don V. Bailey

Overview

"A careful compendium of references to significant papers in the field. It fills a vacuum and represents one careful scholar's odyssey through the medical-ethical literature seeking understanding and resolution of problems associated with medical care and dying. Comprehensive and carefully annotated, it should serve well those concerned with technological encroachments on the process of dying, that genetically inbred inevitably of all who are human."—From the foreword by Joseph R. Stanton, M.D., FACP—Value of Life Committee.

Editorial Reviews

...a wonderfully valuable guide through the vast thicket of euthanasia-related literature. Particularly helpful are his balanced, concise comments on the individual monographs and articles, which will point the reader right to the sources that he mosturgently needs.

Harold O. J. Brown

The highly personal yet thoroughly scholarly odyssey of a hospital chaplain through the medical-ethical literature seeking understanding and resolution of problems associated with medical care and dying. This is the way it should be done--driven by feeling and rewarded with understanding rather than tenure or promotion. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
