Assisted suicide is a contentious issue that has been the subject of judicial and academic debate internationally. The central objective of the book is to approach the question of the bans compatibility with the European Convention on Human Rights afresh, freed from the constraints of existing case law and its erroneous approach to legal issues and selective reliance on empirical data. The book also examines the compatibility of the ban on assisted suicide with rights that have either been erroneously disregarded or not considered by either the domestic courts or the European Court of Human Rights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaving regard to human rights jurisprudence more broadly, including in the context of abortion, the research and analysis undertaken here demonstrate that the ban on assisted suicide violates the rights of a significant number of individuals to life, to freedom from torture or inhuman or degrading treatment, and to private life. Such analysis does not depend on a strained or contrived approach to the rights at issue. Rather, the conclusions flow naturally from a coherent, logical application of the established principles governing those rights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile the focus of the book is the Suicide Act 1961, the conclusions reached have implications beyond England and Wales, including for the other devolved jurisdictions and international jurisdictions. Beyond courts and legislators, it will be a valuable resource for students of human rights and medicine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 453g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367628437\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stevie Martin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44103874281722,"sku":"9780367628437","price":40.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1674829347360_book.jpg?v=1675622214","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/assisted-suicide-and-the-european-convention-on-human-rights-9780367628437","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
