Physicians who terminate life at the patient's request no longer have to fear criminal prosecution. However, endoflife legislation in the Low Countries has provoked diverse responses and sparked vigorous and divisive ethical debate. For some, the new legislation has become a shining example; for others it is a lamentable materialization of a culture of death. This book provides an overview and comparison of the legal specifics of the Belgian and Dutch Euthanasia Acts, a discussion of palliative care initiatives and an ethical examination of the new legislation. In addition, the book provides an indepth analysis of the arguments used in the endoflife debate and a critical examination of the positions taken by the churches. The book concludes with an overview of how Christian healthcare institutions accommodate to this new legal situation.
