Book Description:
|
In this volume, leading philosophers, medical doctors, and health economists discuss the evaluation of death and its relevance for global health policy. The authors challenge the current practice of assessing newborn deaths as the worst deaths. The volume also discusses whether stillbirths should be included in our evaluation of deaths, and whether the deaths of young children are worse than that of newborns.
