Synopsis
There has hitherto been limited systematic social research on the prolongation and termination of life, and minimal agreement of the resolution of the moral and social dilemmas that dying provokes. Among the topics discussed by the contributors are: the social context of dying―when, where, and why people die; what they think about death; the cultural background of the patients' attitudes; and how medical practitioners cope with terminal illness. The social, ethical, legal, and economic problems arising from the prolongation and termination of life are also set forth.

Review
"Recommended for the provocative questions it raises concerning the effect on the patient of the structure of medical care; concerning the important decisions regarding policy facing the medical profession, the hospital administrator, and the public; and for the discussions of legal and economic dimensions which are frequently forgotten by personnel working directly with the patient."
—Edmund C. Payne, Psychiatry in Medicine
