Annotated bibliography
Dowbiggin, Ian. A Concise History of Euthanasia. Lanham, Maryland: Rowman & Littlefield, 2007.
Dowbiggin?s book provides a substantial chronological framework with a clear breakdown of classical historical changes of euthanasia documentation through classically accepted periods of change. He touches on concepts from antiquity through the modern area and discusses some broad changes in philosophy, historiography, and cultural beliefs during these periods. Although this reference provides a substantial framework for study, it lacks the in-depth comparisons between the modern era approach to euthanasia and the historical past before the 1800?s. It also lacks discussion on the cultural pressures not to document the benefits
