Beyond Price collects my essays in bioethics, most of which are unified by a
rejection of the prevailing egoistic voluntarism about ending one's own life
and creating new ones — that is, about suicide and procreation.
Many now believe that it is not only permissible but virtuous to "take
control" of one's death and to exercise that control when life is no longer
"worth it". Feature articles in the press celebrate the courage of people who
commit suicide because the benefits of longevity no longer repay them for
the burdens of old age. And society is happy to be relieved of responsibility
for euthanasia by those who take the initiative to self-euthanize.
