Paperback. Condición: New. 'I have quite a bit of understanding of white man's ways, but it is difficult for me to understand this one.' An Australian Senate committee investigation of the Northern Territory's Rights of the Terminally Ill Act 1995, the first legislation in the world that allowed doctors to actively assist patien…ts to die, found that for the vast majority of Indigenous Territorians, the idea that a physician - or anyone else - should help end a dying, suffering person's life was so foreign that in some instances it proved almost impossible to translate. The Good Death Through Time asks how such a death became a 'thinkable'-even desirable-way to die for so many others in Western cultures. For centuries a good death - the 'euthanasia' - meant a death blessed by God that might well involve pain, for suffering was seen as ultimately redemptive. But in the Victorian age, when doctors started to treat the dying with painkillers as well as prayers, a painful death came to be thought of as an aberrant, dehumanising experience. As this book explores, the modern idea that a good death should be painless spurred sometimes troubling developments in palliative medicine as well as an increasingly well-organised assisted dying movement. Delving into what euthanasia activists, doctors, lawyers, religious leaders and lay people have thought and felt about dying, The Good Death Through Time shows that understanding the radical historical shift in Western attitudes to managing dying and suffering helps us better grasp the stakes in today's contestations over what it means to die well.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. 'I have quite a bit of understanding of white man's ways but it is difficult for me to understand this one'. A Senate committee investigation of Australia's Northern Territory Rights of the Terminally Ill Act 1995 , the first legislation in the world which allowed doctors to actively assist…patients to die, found that for the vast majority of Indigenous Territorians, the idea that a physician - or anyone else - should help end a dying, suffering person's life was so foreign that in some instances it proved almost impossible to translate. This book explores how such a death became a thinkable - even desirable - way to die for so many others in Western cultures. Though 'euthanasia', meaning 'good death', derives from ancient Greece, for the Greeks this was a matter of Fate, or a gift the gods bestowed on the virtuous or simply lucky. Caring for the dying was not part of the doctor's remit. For the Victorians, a good death meant one blessed by God and widespread belief in a divine design and the value of suffering created resistance to new forms of pain relief. And today, while most in the Western world cleave to the modern medical view that pain is an aberration, to be, where possible, eliminated, complex cultural, ethical and practical questions regarding what makes for a good death remain. As Caitlin Mahar memorably shows in The Good Death Through Time , understanding the radical historical shift in Western attitudes to managing dying and suffering helps us better grasp the stakes in today's contestations over what it means to die well. Delving into what euthanasia activists, doctors, lawyers, religious leaders and lay people have thought and felt about dying, this book shows that understanding the radical historical shift in Western attitudes to managing dying and suffering helps us better grasp the stakes in todays contestations over what it means to die well.
