Whether the law should permit voluntary euthanasia and/or physician-assisted suicide is one of the most controversial questions facing modern societies. Many people, moved by 'hard cases' reported by the mass media, support legalisation.

This unique book explains a powerful but misunderstood argument against legalisation: that, even if they were morally justified in 'hard cases', voluntary euthanasia and/or physician-assisted suicide resist effective legal control. For reasons both practical and logical, legalisation would initiate a slide down a 'slippery slope' to ending the lives of patients who did not make a free, informed request; who were not suffering unbearably, and for whom there were alternatives.

The book substantiates the argument that effective legal control is not feasible by drawing on the experience of three jurisdictions which have relaxed their laws: the Netherlands, Belgium and Oregon.
Part I. Definitions:
1. Euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide
2. Intended v. foreseen life-shortening
Part II. The Ethical Debate: Human Life, Autonomy, Legal Hypocrisy, and the 'Slippery Slope'
3. The value of human life
4. The value of autonomy
5. Legal hypocrisy?
6. The slippery slope arguments
Part III. The Dutch Experience:
7. The guidelines
8. The first survey: the incidence of 'euthanasia'
9. Breach of the guidelines
10. The slide towards NVAE
11. The second survey
12. The Dutch in denial?
13. The Euthanasia Act and the Code of Practice
14. Effective control since 2002?
15. Continuing concerns
16. A right to physician-assisted suicide by stopping eating and drinking?
17. Assisted suicide for the elderly with 'completed lives'
Part IV. Belgium:
18. The Belgian Legislation
19. The lack of effective control
Part V. Australia:
20. The Northern Territory: ROTTI
Part VI. The United States:
21. The United States: Oregon and six other jurisdictions
22. The US Supreme Court: Glucksberg and Vacco
Part VII. Canada:
