The ‘old’ question

RIGHT TO DIE?
Euthanasia, Assisted Suicide and End-of-life Care
By John Wyatt
IVP. 191 pages. £8.99
ISBN 978 1 783 593 866

This book’s ambiguous title captures the issues well: are there circumstances in which it is right to bring about death, and has an individual a right to that course?

Following an introduction setting out the recent shift in thinking from relief of pain to individual choice and control, Dr Wyatt gives us a timeline of publications and laws on euthanasia, demonstrating that this is not a new debate.
