AnnotationMedical assistance in the termination of life, whether euthanasia or assisted suicide, is arguably one of the most hotly debated topics at the end of 20th century. The author seeks to explore some of the "recent" historical developments which have had an impact on the emergence of medical euthanasia and doctor-assisted suicide. The objective is to juxtapose events in a way that relates historical fact (and fiction) to current events and debates. (OFFPRINT.) (RH).
