Whiting demonstrates that the right to die controversy stretches back more than two thousand years, and he explains how current attitudes and practices in the U.S. have been influenced by the legal and cultural development of the ancient western world. This perspective allows the reader to understand not only the origins of the controversy, but also the different perspectives that each age has contributed to the ongoing debate. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhiting discusses the development of legal rights within both western culture and the United States, then applies these developments to the question of the right to die. In an environment of public debate that features such emotional events as the exploits of Jack Kevorkian, the publication of how to suicide manuals, and the counterattacks of Right to Life groups, the United States is left with very few options.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRAYMOND WHITING is Professor of Political Science at Augusta State University.\/e He has received both the University's Outstanding Faculty Member Award and a Governor's Teaching Fellowship Award.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 234\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.78 x 9.7 x 6.04 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 30, 2001\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48097553875203,"sku":"9780313314742","price":199.78,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/9310\/7359\/files\/IFiK2dDhLX9780313314742.webp?v=1778450044","url":"https:\/\/annizon.com\/en-es\/products\/a-natural-right-to-die-twenty-three-centuries-of-debate-hardcover","provider":"annizon.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
