Description: Euthanasia - compassionately-motivated killing - is illegal in the UK, but that does not necessarily make it unethical. Those in favour of euthanasia argue that it allows the terminally ill to die with dignity, those against say it would trivialize the value of the ill and disabled. This volume examines these debates.
