What They're Saying
Critics Review
“I particularly appreciate four qualities in work on bioethics: clear, effective communication; careful, well-organized argumentation, thorough, comprehensive research; and responsiveness to empirical evidence. den Hartogh delivers on all four…”
Wayne Sumner, Filosofie & Praktijk
“One of this book’s strengths is its ability to evaluate technical and complex areas. It offers a valuable resource for exploring end-of-life choices from a personal and moral standpoint. It also provides an insightful examination of what constitutes a ‘good death’ and how to facilitate it. It will appeal to anyone researching bioethics, applied ethics, law, or simply curious about death, particularly assisted death.”
Medical Law Review
“Govert den Hartogh is a highly respected emeritus professor of moral philosophy at the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. With this magnum opus—with highly detailed discussions—he delivers an extremely well documented presentation of his own and personal view how the manner and time of one’s own death can be determined.”
Paul Schotsmans, European Journal of Health Law
