Defining Death: The Case for Choice
ISBN: 9781626163553 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. New technologies and medical treatments have complicated questions such as how to determine the moment when someone has died. The result is a failure to establish consensus on the definition of death and the criteria by which the moment of death is determined. This creates confusion and disagreement not only among medical, legal, and insurance professionals but also within families faced with difficult decisions concerning their loved ones. Distinguished bioethicists Robert M. Veatch and Lainie F. Ross argue that the definition of death is not a scientific question but a social one...

From 1966 to 1971 the First Australian Task Force was part of the counterinsurgency campaign in South Vietnam.

The Search for Tactical Success in Vietnam sheds new light on this campaign by examining the thousands of small-scale battles that the First Australian Task Force was engaged in. The book draws on...
