Summary This book analyses assisted death in the philosophical context of biopolitics, searching for the form of resistance which would not produce 'bare life' and would not exclude marginalized social groups. A great deal of the criticism of euthanasia from pro-life movements associates this term with the Nazi practice of eugenics, and this book considers the inescapability of the Holocaust in this regard, while also moving the discussion on assisted death in new directions
