Media Reviews
'Overall, the book contains an interesting collection of essays. In the end, the editors have achieved their objective of providing an interdisciplinary study of the law on euthanasia in Belgium, which draws on medical, legal, and philosophical analysis and lived experiences. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the details of the Belgian law on euthanasia, and it will be of particular use for those who want to explore specific areas of the euthanasia and assisted suicide debate … It is an interesting reading and one that may well prompt the reader to undertake research into this complicated and complex area.' Nataly Papadopoulou, Medical Law Review
