| Summary |
"This book is a successor to J. Griffiths, A. Bood and H. Weyers, Euthanasia and law in the Netherlands (Amsterdam University Press 1998). The new book emphasises recent legal developments and new research, and has been expanded to include a full treatment of Belgium, where since 2002 euthanasia has also become legal. The book also includes descriptions written by local specialists of the legal situation and what is known about actual practice in a number of other European countries (England and Wales, France, Italy, Scandinavia, Spain, Switzerland)."--Jacket |
