De grands enjeux humains traversent la question de l’accès à l’aide médicale à mourir?: l’instinct de survie, les réactions devant la mort inéluctable, la dignité et la liberté, le respect et la volonté de mourir, entre autres. Pour savoir comment s’incarnent ces questions, le journaliste et écrivain Normand Cazelais est allé à la rencontre de personnes œuvrant dans le milieu de la santé, de familles et de proches aidants, jusqu’à Véronique Hivon, dont l’action politique a fait avancer la cause et son cadre légal au Québec. Pour mieux comprendre, il a aussi questionné l’histoire, les religions et les croyances d’ici et d’ailleurs, la littérature, la justice et les lois, en quête d’amorces de réponses à partager, à préciser ensemble, en famille comme en société. Cet essai savamment construit offre plusieurs perspectives intéressantes qui orienteront le débat actuel en nous invitant à nous pencher dès maintenant sur ces questions complexes qui deviendront incontournables dans les années à venir.? - Extrait de la préface de la Dre Mona Gupta, Centre hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal.

"Those involved in end-of-life decision making must take into account both legal and ethical issues. This book starts with a critical reflection of ethical principles including ideas such as moral status, the value of life, acts and omissions, harm, autonomy, dignity and paternalism. It then explores the practical difficulties of regulating end-of-life decisions, focusing on patients, healthcare professionals, the wider community and issues surrounding 'slippery slope' arguments. By evaluating the available empirical evidence, the author identifies preferred ways to regulate decisions and minimise abuses at the end of life, and outlines an ethical theory which can provide practical guidance for those engaged in end-of-life decisions"--Provided by publisher.
