The Ethics of Death

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This scholarly treatment of the complex and ambiguous ethical dilemmas at the end of life is original, thoughtful, and finely balanced. Steffen and Cooley recognize that ethical decisions must come from dialogue, not dogma, and from a nuanced appreciation of human experience. With these aims in mind they have written a book that literally models that very approach. Compulsory and compulsive reading for anyone with an interest in the end of life—and shouldn’t that be all of us?”
