2. The Inevitable: Dispatches on the Right to Die

A remarkably nuanced, empathetic, and well-crafted work of journalism, [The Inevitable] explores what might be called the right-to-die underground, a world of people who wonder why a medical system that can do so much to try to extend their lives can do so little to help them end those lives in a peaceful and painless way.
Brooke Jarvis, The New YorkerMore states and countries are passing right-to-die laws that allow the sick and suffering to end their lives at pre-planned moments, with the help of physicians. But even where these laws exist, they leave many people behind.
The Inevitable moves beyond margins of the law to the people who are meticulously planning their final hoursfar from medical offices, legislative chambers, hospital ethics committees, and polite conversation. It also shines a light on the people who help them: loved ones and, sometimes, clandestine groups on the Internet that together form the euthanasia underground.
Katie Engelhart, a veteran journalist, focuses on six people representing different aspects of the right to die debate. Two are doctors: a California physician who runs a boutique assisted death clinic and has written more lethal prescriptions than anyone else in the U.S.

3 books in 1 This collection includes:1. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.2. Dialectical Behavior Therapy.3. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Our self-esteem depends very much on the experiences we had in the first years of life. If the relationships with the people who looked after us (parents, grandparents, teachers, etc.
Were positive and rewarding, we have likely developed a positive image of ourselves. However, emotionally unstable, offensive and toxic role models can undermine the construction of a solid self-esteem before it has completely consolidated within us. Many of us are still limited by the defences we formed when trying to protect ourselves from the painful circumstances in which we found ourselves as children.

English
64 pages
Terry Pratchett on our right to a good life and a good death – the text of his landmark BBC Richard Dimbleby Lecture. Why we all deserve a life worth living and a death worth dying for. Most men don’t fear death.
They fear those things – the knife, the shipwreck, the illness, the bomb which precede, by microseconds if you’re lucky, and many years if you’re not, the moment of death.’When Terry Pratchett was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in his fifties he was angry – not with death but with the disease that would take him there, and with the suffering disease can cause when we are not allowed to put an end to it.
In this essay, broadcast to millions as the BBC Richard Dimblebly Lecture 2010, he argues for our right to choose – our right to a good life, and a good death too.

For the last 50 years she has been confined to a wheelchair and struggled against her own paralysis. And she sat by the bedside of her dying father, thinking, So much suffering, why not end it all quickly, painlessly? The terminally ill, the elderly, the disabled, the depressed and suicidal, can all be swept up into this movement of self-deliverance.Skip the suffering.
Put a quick end to merciless pain and mental anguish. These are tempting enticements to the hurting. Joni doesn’t give pat answers. Instead, she gives warm comfort from God and practical help to meet the realities for those facing death.

10. The Law of Life and Death
Author: by Elizabeth Price Foley

Harvard University Press
April 1, 2011
Are you alive?What makes you so sure? Most people believe this question has a clear answerthat some law defines our status as living (or not) for all purposes. But they are dead wrong. In this pioneering study, Elizabeth Price Foley examines the many, and surprisingly ambiguous, legal definitions of what counts as human life and death.
Foley reveals that not being dead is not necessarily the same as being alive, in the eyes of the law. People, pre-viable fetuses, and post-viable fetuses have different sets of legal rights, which explains the law’s seemingly inconsistent approach to stem cell research, in vitro fertilization, frozen embryos, in utero embryos, contraception, abortion, homicide, and wrongful death.
In a detailed analysis that is sure to be controversial, Foley shows how the need for more organ transplants and the need to conserve health care resources are exerting steady pressure to expand the legal definition of death. As a result, death is being declared faster than ever before.
11. Life's Dominion: An Argument About Abortion, Euthanasia, and Individual Freedom
Author: by Ronald Dworkin
Vintage
English
288 pages
Internationally renowned lawyer and philosopher Ronald Dworkin addresses the crucially related acts of abortion and euthanasia in a brilliantly original book that examines their meaning in a nation that prizes both life and individual liberty.From Roe v. Wade to the legal battle over the death of Nancy Cruzan, no issues have opened greater rifts in American society than those of abortion and euthanasia.
At the heart of Life’s Dominion is Dworkin’s inquest into why abortion and euthanasia provoke such controversy. Do these acts violate some fundamental “right to life”? Or are the objections against them based on the belief that human life is sacred?
Combining incisive moral reasoning and close readings of indicidual court decisions with a majestic interpretation of the U.S. Constitution itself, Dworkin gives us a work that is absolutely essential for anyone who cares about the legal status of human life.
12. Arguments about Abortion: Personhood, Morality, and Law
Author: by Kate Greasley
Oxford University Press
English
288 pages
Does the morality of abortion depend on the moral status of the human fetus? Must the law of abortion presume an answer to the question of when personhood begins? Can a law which permits late abortion but not infanticide be morally justified?
These are just some of the questions this book setsout to address. With an extended analysis of the moral and legal status of abortion, Kate Greasley offers an alternative account to the reputable arguments of Ronald Dworkin and Judith Jarvis Thomson and instead brings the philosophical notion of ‘personhood’ to the foreground of this debate.
Structured in three parts, the book will (I) consider the relevance of prenatal personhood for the moral and legal evaluation of abortion; (II) trace the key features of the conventional debate about when personhood begins and explore the most prominent issues in abortion ethics literature: thehuman equality problem and the difference between abortion and infanticide; and (III) examine abortion law and regulation as well as the differing attitudes to selective abortion.
