Voluntary Euthanasia critically examines the criminal law prohibition of medically administered active voluntary euthanasia in common law jurisdictions and looks at the situation in practice. The evidence of patient demands and the willingness of some doctors to respond is explored, and an argument for reform of the law is made.
