title: [Euthanasia in the United States].
abstract: In the West, efforts to legalize active euthanasia and assisted suicide go back at least a century. Debates have emerged over the past two decades in a number of countries, however. What are the principal arguments put forward in favor of it? What development in contemporary medicine, and contemporary culture, might account for an increasingly favorable attitude toward euthanasia? What kind of efforts are being developed to stop or to impede the euthanasia movement?
