In recent years euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide have been partially legalized in the Netherlands and in the state of Oregon and have been debated before the U.S. Supreme Court. Political cartoonists -- including Pulitzer Prize winners Tom Toles, Tony Auth, and Michael Ramirez -- express their own views for or against euthanasia in this thought-provoking anthology.
"Editor Mary Williams presents a representative and diverse collection of cartoons with commentary on a range of themes in this engaging series aimed at students."
-- Conscience (Spring 2003)
"Humor is a powerful weapon for opening up discussion, and the Opposing Viewpoints series has always included small cartoons that add wry perspectives. Lots of detailed, serious commentary frames the cartoons, and each volume begins with a long introduction that includes a history of the debate as well as a summary of court decisions and current viewpoints."
