TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - 'Debating the Morality and Legality of Medically Assisted Dying'. Critical Notice of Emily Jackson and John Keown, Debating Euthanasia. Oxford: Hart Publishing, 2012 JO - Criminal law and philosophy A1 - Young, R. SP - 151 EP - 160 VL - 7 IS - 1 N2 - In this Critical Notice of Emily Jackson and John Keown's Debating Euthanasia, the respective lines of argument put forward by each contributor are set out and the key debating points identified. Particular consideration is given to the points each contributor makes concerning the sanctity of human life and whether slippery slopes leading from voluntary medically assisted dying to non-voluntary euthanasia would be established if voluntary medically assisted dying were to be legalised. Finally, consideration is given to the positions adopted by the contributors in relation to the legalisation of voluntary medically assisted dying. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
