Juergen Hengelbrock presents materials from the history of European ideas in order to enrich the actual debate regarding active and passive euthanasia. He discusses classical Greek and Roman as well as Jewish and Christian positions, also contributions by Thomas Morus, David Hume and Immanuel Kant. He calls for a yet to be developed ethics of dealing with death and dying.
