Book Synopsis The Sanctity-of-life Doctrine in Medicine by : Helga Kuhse
Book excerpt: Examining and refuting the "sanctity-of-life" view in medical decision making, Kuhse argues for a quality-of-life ethic based on the belief that there is a profound difference between merely being alive and life being in the patient's interest.
