Synopsis
For years, speculation has been mounting among lawyers, church leaders, social scientists, and the general public over the question of prolongation of life and the critically ill patient's "right to die." But what is the physician's attitude toward this controversial subject? Under what conditions does a doctor battle to save the life of the patient, and when does he decide to withdraw medical treatment and allow death to occur? The answers to these questions form the basis of this book, a fascinating examination of the nature of death and dying, as seen from the physician' point of view.

About the Author
DIANA CRANE is associate professor of sociology at the University of Pennsylvania.
Review
“Recent technological advances have affected every aspect of modern life, including the process of dying. . . . Although a number of dilemmas affecting patient, family, and medical staff result from the trend, Diana Crane focuses primarily upon the physician’s response in the present volume. . . . The purpose of her book is to report the results of an inquiry regarding physician attitudes toward the prolongation and termination of life. . . . The Sancity of Social Life is very well written in a non-jargony manner. The issues are clearly elaborated and . . . portrayed through the case studies.”
—Larry A. Bugen, Contemporary Sociology
