Add to BagDeveloping medical technology has placed a strain on our traditional conceptions of death. This book examines how the way in which we die today has led to the intervention of medical and legal professionals between the individual and their death. The author examines whether this is an inevitable consequence of technological death and asks if there are other ways of solving the problems presented by changing perceptions of mortality. Also examined are the shifts in attitude in Irish society towards death and dying, and how recent legislation has impinged on our concepts of issues such as treatment withdrawal, active euthanasia and the right to die.
