Gr 8 Up-This clearly written title addresses hospice, home, and hospital care; discusses pain management (or lack of), including opinions on the legalization of marijuana; looks at varying positions on the withdrawal of life support and euthanasia; and offers varying viewpoints on a patient's right to die. Questions are posed at the beginning of each chapter and article, and each section of six or seven essays concludes with a list of periodical resources. The selected essays were written by patients, philosophy and ethics professors, and physicians. The opinions of a caregiver, a politician, and a lawyer are also represented. A few black-and-white political cartoons illustrate the book.-Martha Gordon, formerly at South Salem Library, NY (c) Copyright 2010.

《书目》(Booklist)书评
Gr. 7^-12. With this volume, the Opposing Viewpoints Series takes an intriguing detour from its usual format by exploring a topic that doesn't always invite direct point-counterpoint arguments. Instead, early chapters explore different ways of addressing concerns for the terminally ill, their families, and caretakers. Initial essays discuss the effectiveness of hospices, the value of dying at home, and the input that patients should have in their treatment and death. Subsequent essays move into the more familiar should-shouldn't arguments, and quite effectively tackle euthanasia, the legalization of marijuana, a physician's right to hasten death, and a patient's right to die. With so many individual issues in one volume, this text will prove useful for a wide range of research topics. In addition to the periodical and book bibliographies, the appendix also includes an "Organizations to Contact" list with each group's street and Web addresses and telephone and fax numbers, plus a full paragraph describing the organization's mission. --Roger Leslie
