'This timely inter-disciplinary collection advances our understanding of fundamental social challenges concerning, for example, the extent of rights of self-determination towards the end of life. The book has unity of focus rarely found in edited volumes. It is required reading for researchers, an invaluable resource for educators, and an exemplary demonstration of the ways in which law and ethics are interrelated.'Steven D. Edwards, Swansea University, UK'This book is a must read for anyone interested in the question of how we achieve A Good Death in modern health care. It contains powerful personal testimonies alongside penetrating ethical and legal analysis. Despite the sophistication of the analysis it is written in an accessible and straightforward style.'Soren Holm, University of Manchester, UK
