Should human beings be allowed to decide when to die? Should doctors be allowed to assist them? This book presents descriptions of euthanasia in practice in the Netherlands. It helps clinicians and other medical professionals better understand end-of-life decision making.
For social scientists, health professionals, and lay readers, Negotiating a Good Death: Euthanasia in the Netherlands is the first inside account of how decisions about euthanasia are made in real-life situations. Documenting two years of observations at a Dutch hospital, this valuable book describes why patients request euthanasia, the social factors that influence doctors'' decisions about granting patients'' requests, and how patients and doctors confer over peaceful deaths. Through case studies and examples, Negotiating a Good Death will help you understand the issues surrounding euthanasia and how life-ending decisions are made by both doctors and patients.
