Summary: L.W. Sumner explores the ethical and legal status of physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia, and argues that these forms of assisted death can claim the same justification as other widely accepted end-of-life practices. He surveys the opposing views and legal precedents, and develops a regulatory policy for assisted death.
