Summary:"This book examines how social science can inform policy and practice in the ongoing debates on end-of-life issues. Although moral and ethical concerns are not necessarily the domain of science, others are amenable to scientific study, including such questions as whether untreated pain or depression fuel requests for assisted suicide. The book is a valuable review of the psychosocial and medical literature on who seeks assisted suicide and why"--Book. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved).
