In 2015, the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the criminal laws prohibiting assisted suicide and voluntary active euthanasia. Parliament then implemented this ruling on medical assistance in dying (MAID) via Bill C-14, enshrining it in law. Yet debate on this controversial subject has continued.Assisted Suicide in Canada delves into key federal and provincial court rulings on MAID from 1993 to 2015 and explains subsequent legislative history. Travis Dumsday engages in an accessible yet nuanced exploration of the most significant ethical arguments – pro and con – and unravels the related legal and policy disputes. He delves into key federal and provincial court rulings on MAID from 1993 to 2015 and explains subsequent legislative history. Thorny issues such as freedom of conscience for health care professionals, public funding for MAID, and proposed extensions of eligibility are dealt with thoughtfully and clearly.The legalization of MAID will affect the lives, deaths, and attitudes of Canadians for generations to come. Assisted Suicide in Canada offers a balanced, up-to-date introduction to the topic, providing readers with the tools to think through fundamental legal, ethical, and policy issues surrounding assisted dying.Students and scholars of bioethics, legal ethics, medicine, and political science will find this thoughtful work invaluable, as will readers engaged with the ongoing debates and ethical issues surrounding MAID.

Grâce aux progrès scientifiques et techniques, les nouveaux pouvoirs de l’humain sur lui-même et sur son destin biologique permettent à chacun et chacune d’entre nous de jouir de plus grandes possibilités dans la conduite de son existence. Cependant le droit français, loin d’accompagner cette émancipation, ne cesse de fabriquer des contraintes et des limites légales qui interdisent à la personne de devenir complètement maîtresse de sa destinée vitale. Partant des exemples tels que la GPA, la transsexualité, le suicide assisté mais aussi la prostitution et la pornographie, Daniel Borrillo démontre combien la lutte pour la disposition de son corps, pour laquelle se sont battues les féministes, demeure une liberté encore à conquérir. Une réflexion et une analyse passionnantes à partir d’exemples concrets relatifs à la vie, la mort, la sexualité et l’intimité qui démontrent que, aujourd’hui encore, nos corps restent des champs de bataille.

"Few issues are as volatile or misunderstood as physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia. In The Case against Assisted Suicide: For the Right to End-of-Life Care, Drs. Foley and Hendin unravel why such principles as patient autonomy, compassion, and rationality, which are often invoked by supporters of legalization, fail to address the actual situations of terminally ill patients. Incisive discussions by leading authorities in the fields of medicine, law, and bioethics from the United States and abroad provide compelling multidisciplinary perspectives and discussions on what is at stake at the end of life. Several chapters present the risks that legalization of assisted suicide poses to some of society's most vulnerable groups, particularly those who are elderly, are depressed, or have physical disabilities. The authors provide in-depth analyses of the actual practice of assisted suicide in places where it is legally sanctioned. The Case against Assisted Suicide spells out what the medical profession needs to do to improve palliative care. It also thoughtfully and persuasively indicates the changes in social policy necessary to develop a more humane response to the complex issues facing terminally ill patients."--Jacket.
