These two volumes present the core of recent philosophical work on end-of-life issues. Volume I examines issues in death and consent: the nature of death brain death and the uses of the dead and decision-making at the end of life including the use of advance directives and decision-making about the continuation discontinuation or futility of treatment for competent and incompetent patients and children. Volume II on justice and hastening death examines whether there is a difference between killing and letting die issues about physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia and questions about distributive justice and decisions about life and death.
