ABSTRACT
End-of-life ethics was among the first topics to develop when modern medical ethics got going in the early 1970s. It is well developed. It is not, however, static. This volume is a collection of new articles on various aspects of end-oflife ethics, with a focus on cutting-edge work and new issues. It is meant both to display recent thinking in end-of-life ethics and to initiate new issues and new lines of argument that have not been explored before. At the same time, a reader can use this volume to become oriented to the established questions and positions in end-of-life ethics, both because new questions are set in their context and because most of the chapters survey the field as well as adding to it.
