Defining Death: The Case for Choice

by Robert M. Veatch and Lainie F. Ross

Book Overview

Veatch and Ross argue that the definition of death is a social question rooted in a person's religious, philosophical, or social beliefs. While ceding that society needs a default definition to proceed in some cases, the authors state that any decision-making process must allow individuals to make their own choices according to their personal beliefs.
