Good read
Good read
My grandson is in college and he asked for this book. I always buy my grandchildren books.
This review has no spoilers as to the author’s conclusion.This book shows how a good legal mind prepares. It surveys the examples, reasons, and consequences of assisted suicide and euthanasia.The survey is across 2,000 years and places around the world. There are also chapters for the positions of selected ethical systems. The book is a display of legal scholarship seeking perspectives to prepare to form an opinion. We see classical Greece, Rome, Britain, Netherlands, and some states and historical episodes in the USA in detail. There are some key legal cases in the USA and Europe. These sources appear to match the education of the author. There is nothing from the Middle East, South or East Asia, Africa, or Native American cultures which might be influential on tens of millions of current US citizens.The book does not discuss how pertinent examples might be. For example, no Roman person ever had an opinion about removing a feeding tube or separating conjoined twins. The slave society of Sparta would not have any thoughts about universal individual rights. Nor are they valid examples of what we risk becoming. We will not adopt infanticide for cosmetic defects as part of our consideration of euthanasia just as surely as a Spartan never let a woman vote. They were our past not our future – and the book has “future†in its title.The founding event of our country was an unprecedented liberation of the citizen, and we have evolved our society with multiple emancipations since then. Each one frees us more completely as individuals and expands the horizons of human potential. The founders understood the declaration of rights should not be a limit upon the people, but upon the government. Past times and other places with unrealized freedoms are at best qualified guides to modern ethics. To the extent that the book catalogs as data the consequences of assisted suicide and euthanasia policy from other times and places I applaud it. But other times and peoples are no substitute for contemporary, actual citizens.The book is not adept with numbers. They are generally presented without context to understand if they are large or small. Numbers are stated in isolation and little curiosity is applied to teasing out insights from them.The author supposes the lack of Blacks choosing assisted suicide in Oregon is evidence of it being a “cultural choiceâ€. With less than 70 assisted suicides in any one year and 1 in 60 ratio of Blacks in Oregon, it is statistically very unlikely any Black person in Oregon wanting assistance would have had a Black physician to ask, one who would not see a professional risk in agreeing. The numbers reflect our society and its problems, not “Black cultureâ€. The author should walk in the shoes of fellow contemporary citizens. Understanding them has priority over understanding ancient Romans or even modern Dutch.The book has a glaring gap in comparing to second amendment rights. Over half of USA suicides are with a gun, and a third of gun fatalities are suicides. These facts have not made those who sell or make guns culpable. The average gun dealer sells a gun used in a suicide every 5 years – almost certainly more often than a physician will ever be asked to assist suicide. They sell a gun which will be used for murder every 2.5 years. Legal arguments establish no responsibility to the sellers or makers of guns – why would similar arguments not be valid for those who assist suicide? Would an assistant who gives a gun, not pills, be protected from responsibility? The book considers neither the similarity nor the legal doctrines which flow around the second amendment.Early in the book “assisted suicide†is analyzed as a situation where the person assisting must have an intent that the other person will die. The author never seems to consider that assistant could be sincere in not wanting the person to die, but committed to supporting the individual right of choice. What happened to “I do not support what you do, but I support your right to do itâ€? The author never revisits this analysis, and it colors judgement throughout the book.Lurid hypothetical consequences are presented for the various social norms or philosophical approaches. Many of us would find these repugnant – but in this work of scholarship, mere “many of us†is not the expected standard. On what philosophy or culture, or even religion, were the good and the bad separated? On what grounds should we agree with the conclusions of the book? The foundations are unstated.The book is unpersuasive. It has too many gaps. The work needs to be expanded with a more representative sweep of sources, a stated ethical foundation, grounded in the real world of today’s citizens, not commingled with alien times and places.
Legal scholar, and now Federal Appeals Court Judge, Neil Gorsuch has written a comprehensive study of the legal and moral issues in the physician assisted suicide debate. This is the right book at the right time because the practical consequences of mindless "reform" have been largely ignored in the current discussions. The author's detailed descriptions of what has actually happened in Oregon and in the Netherlands which have legalized assisted suicide are especially helpful. The author also presents medical evidence from respected sources including the Journal of Clinical Oncology showing that the major motivation behind physician assisted suicide is not unbearable pain but clinical depression.Generally those favoring physician assisted suicide are on the most liberal side of the American political spectrum. But Gorsuch convincing argues that the intellectual roots of their proposals are actually from Social Darwinism, the American eugenics movement, and the National Socialist Party of Germany of the 1930's. Adolph Hitler is directly quoted on page 36. What is publicly presented as a civil right involving "personal autonomy" would in practice present a serious threat to the safety of the most vulnerable members of society. Gorsuch quotes with obvious approval the 1994 British House of Lords study which argued that it would not be logically possible to frame sufficient safeguards to guarantee that all "voluntary" suicides would in fact actually be voluntary.A "reform" which completely rejects the traditions of Western Civilization and makes homicide legal is not one which should be adopted without consideration of all the facts. Our author calls the debaters away from the realm of theory, speculation, and one liners--and back to the real world.
