Synopsis

This unique Research Handbook examines voluntary assisted dying (VAD) laws through the lens of regulatory theory. It sheds light on interdisciplinary perspectives and outlines policy debates around the revision and implementation of these laws.

Ben P. White brings together global experts to discuss the law and practice of VAD in all permitting jurisdictions. They explore contested questions about eligibility, including access for minors, those with mental disorders, and those who express feeling ‘tired of life’, as well as examining how best to regulate this practice. Chapters delve into case studies across the Americas and Europe of medical assistance in dying and euthanasia, addressing holistic approaches, as well as the matter of organ and tissue donation. The Research Handbook also evaluates key factors in policymaking, such as choice and autonomy, conscience, palliative care, disability rights, feminism and First Nations’ experiences.

The Research Handbook on Voluntary Assisted Dying Law, Regulation and Practice is a vital resource for students and academics in human rights law and health law. Health and legal practitioners, administrators and policymakers will also greatly benefit from its breadth of insights into VAD.
