Do Not Go Gentle
The Case Against Assisted Death
Book •
In 'Do Not Go Gentle: The Case Against Assisted Death,' Kathleen Stock presents a detailed argument opposing legalised, state-organised assisted-death services.
She distinguishes individual acts of assistance from institutionalised services and warns that normalising such services transforms healthcare and creates perverse incentives.
Stock addresses both mercy- and freedom-based arguments for assisted death, the risks of broadened eligibility, impacts on vulnerable people, and comparisons with jurisdictions like Canada and the Netherlands.
Combining ethical reasoning, empirical observations, and cultural critique, the book calls for better-funded palliative care and public conversation about death.
