terminal care

This book includes differing opinions on stopping the treatment of terminally ill patients, the right to die, coping with death, near-death experiences and cryonic suspension.

Authors present conflicting opinions on how the physical and emotional pain of terminal illness should be addressed, whether physicians should be permitted to hasten the deaths of terminally ill patients, and whether the terminally ill should be given more control over their deaths.

Opposing viewpoints create a running debate on such issues as coping with death, suicide, euthanasia, and care for the dying.
