Alzheimer's Disease, Media Representations and the Politics of EuthanasiaAuthor :
Paperback
Published : Monday 28 November 2016
Description
Drawing on extensive data this book explores the Alzheimerisation of the euthanasia debate, examining the shift in recent years in public attitudes towards the desirability and moral permissibility of euthanasia as an end-of-life solution for people living with the disease - not just at its end stage, but also at earlier stages. With attention to media representations and public understandings of Alzheimers disease, this book sheds light on the processes contributing to these changes in public opinion, investigating the drivers of vexed political debate surrounding the issue and examining the manner in which both sides of the euthanasia debate mobilise support, portray their opponents and make use of media technologies to frame the terms of discourse.
