Provides articles by leading authorities who examine the medical, ethical, legal and philosophical issues involved in physician-assisted death, and scrutinize the principal arguments for and against it. Physician-Assisted Death is the eleventh volume of Biomedical Ethics Reviews. We, the editors, are pleased with the response to the series over the years and, as a result, are happy to continue into a second decade with the same general purpose and zeal. As in the past, contributors to projected volumes have been asked to summarize the nature of the literature, the prevailing attitudes and arguments, and then to advance the discussion in some way by staking out and arguing forcefully for some basic position on the topic targeted for discussion. For the present volume on Physician-Assisted Death, we felt it wise to enlist the services of a guest editor, Dr. Gregg A. Kasting, a practicing physician with extensive clinical knowledge of the various problems and issues encountered in discussing physician- assisted death. Dr. Kasting is also our student and just completing a graduate degree in philosophy with a specialty in biomedical ethics here at Georgia State University. Apart from a keen interest in the topic, Dr.Kasting has published good work in the area and has, in our opinion, done an excellent job in taking on the lion's share of editing this well-balanced and probing set of essays. We hope you will agree that this volume significantly advances the level of discussion on physician-assisted euthanasia. Incidentally, we wish to note that the essays in this volume were all finished and committed to press by January 1993.

The right to make our own decisions, foolish or wise, is at the heart of the concept of liberty. The sanest people marry the wrong spouse, take up an unsuitable career, and engage in dangerous sports; while friends and relatives may fret and cajole, we recognise that adults ultimately take responsibility for their own decisions. Similarly, the law enshrines our belief that people have a right to make their own decisions about their health and to refuse medical treatment if they wish, regardless of whether doctors can show that the treatment will be efficacious. …
