Description
While it may seem that debates over euthanasia
began with Jack Kervorkian, the practice of mercy
killing extends back to Ancient Greece and
beyond. In America, the debate has raged for well
over a century. Now, in A Merciful End, Ian
Dowbiggin offers the first full-scale historical
account of one of the most controversial reform
movements in America. Drawing on unprecedented
access to the archives of the Euthanasia Society
of America, interviews with important figures in
the movement today, and flashpoint cases such as
the tragic fate of Karen Ann Quinlan, Dowbiggin
tells the dramatic story of the men and women who
struggled throughout the twentieth century to
change the nation's attitude--and its
laws-- regarding mercy killing. In tracing the
history of the euthanasia movement, he documents
its intersection with other progressive social
causes women's suffrage, birth control, abortion
rights, as well as its uneasy pre-WWII alliance
with eugenics. Such links brought euthanasia
activists into fierce conflict with Judeo-Christia
n institutions who worried that the right to die
might become a duty to die. Indeed, Dowbiggin
argues that by joining a sometimes overzealous
quest to maximize human freedom with a desire to
improve society, the euthanasia movement has been
dogged by the fear that mercy killing could be
extended to persons with disabilities,
handicapped newborns, unconscious geriatric
patients, lifelong criminals, and even the poor.
Justified or not, such fears have stalled the
movement, as more and more Americans now prefer
better end-of-life care than wholesale changes in
euthanasia laws. For anyone trying to decide
whether euthanasia offers a humane alternative to
prolonged suffering or violates the sanctity of
life, A Merciful End provides fascinating and
much-needed historical context.
