This thought-provoking work by Paul Marx delves into the controversial and ethically complex issue of euthanasia, or “mercy killing.” Published in 1978, during a period of intense public debate on the subject, “Death without Dignity” explores the legal, moral, and philosophical dimensions of ending a life prematurely to alleviate suffering. Marx, a respected bioethicist and philosopher, presents a nuanced analysis of the arguments for and against euthanasia, drawing from real-life cases and historical perspectives. While the book’s cover shows signs of its age, the clean pages and secure binding make this a solid reading copy for those interested in this challenging topic. Collectors of bioethics literature and works exploring the boundaries of medical ethics will appreciate this revised edition, which reflects the evolving discourse surrounding end-of-life issues in the late 20th century.
