The third part completes the presentation by looking at moral issues in the midst of life and at its end, such as preventative and risk-reducing medicine, organ donation, advanced directives, decisions about preserving life, and the determination of death. Two appendices cover a legal history of the withdrawal of treatment and capital punishment.…
