About Death Rites and Rights

Death has diverse religious, social, legal, and medical aspects, and is one of the main areas in which medicine and the law intersect. Nations are judged by how they deal with — or cause — death, and what meaning they attach to mourning rites. Mourning rites, in particular, have become a focus for national attention in the UK, whether in response to the sudden death of Diana, Princess of Wales; the quiet curiosity shown to the death of Elizabeth, the Queen Mother; or the mass laying of fields of flowers following the July 7 bombings in 2005. What is the meaning of death in contemporary Britain and in other cultures, and how has it changed over time? The essays in this collection tackle the diverse ways in which death is now experienced in modern society, and in the process answer a wide variety of questions: How is death defined by law? Do the dead have legal rights? What is one allowed to have and not have done to one's body after death? What are the rights of next of kin in this respect? What is happening to the law on euthanasia and suicide? Is there a human right to die? What is the principle of sanctity of life? What of criminal offenses against the dead? How are the traditions of death still played out in religion? What happens to donated bodies in the biomedical setting where anatomical education is permitted? These and other questions are the subject of this challenging and diverse set of essays.
