Reviews

From the reviews: This is a collection of previously unpublished essays that consider whether adaptive preferences ... undermine the autonomy of an individual in end-of-life decision-making. ... It will appeal to those interested in decision-making capacity, autonomy, euthanasia, physician-assisted suicide, acquired disabilities, or human enhancement through biotechnology. (Joseph T. Norris, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2014)
