Euthanasia - Appeal & Plea for Mercy Killing

`Euthanasia or mercy killing dealing with the concept of causing or hastening of death particularly of incurable or terminallyill patients on voluntary request is one of the most perplexing issues which the judiciary and the legislatures all over the world have been facing today. In the recent past, there have been tremendous advances in law, but a definite law on `euthanasia` could not be codified through legislative process in most of the countries where generally it is treated as illegal and not distinguishable from murder.Dr. Reetika Bansal`s book entitled ``Euthanasia: A Conflict Between Life and Death`` also contains a comprehensive collection of latest judicial pronouncements from within the country and abroad on the subject apart from appropriately dealing with the other issues related to the subject of `euthanasia`.The book will prove to be of great value to the legislature, jury, members of the bar, judicial officers and the law faculty in particular and will interest others in general.
