Description
Euthanasia as Privileged Compassion offers a critical examination of euthanasia within bioethical frameworks, arguing that access to compassionate end-of-life care represents a form of privilege in modern healthcare systems. Martin Buijsen explores the philosophical and practical dimensions of euthanasia decisions, questioning who has access to merciful death and under what circumstances.
The book addresses fundamental questions about autonomy, suffering, and medical ethics. Buijsen analyzes how euthanasia intersects with broader issues of social justice, healthcare inequality, and moral philosophy. By framing euthanasia as privileged compassion, the author challenges conventional bioethical approaches and considers the implications for vulnerable populations.
Part of the Elements in Bioethics and Neuroethics series, this work contributes to ongoing scholarly debates about end-of-life care, the right to die, and the ethical responsibilities of medical professionals in contemporary society.
