Considering the increasing number of jurisdictions regulating end-of-life (especially assisted dying), this is a book on an aspect of the debate (why and how reform happens) often not given sufficient importance. While indeed 'all politics is local' (p. 266), the motivations for such legislation are shared, and experience from other jurisdictions is crucial to the creation of a good law. An important piece of work.' Nataly Papadopoulou, University of Leicester, Leicester, UK 'Overall, the book aims to support reform efforts to improve end‐of‐life law and practice.
