The opinions for and against euthanasia in Regulating How We Die do more
than rehearse the arguments over the merciful treatment of extreme suffering
(pain is the prime motivation in only 3 per cent of requests for assisted
dying). Editor Linda Emanuel raises major questions of personal freedom and
social care in a diverse collection sure to trigger heated arguments. Published
by Harvard University Press, £12.50, ISBN 0674666542.
