"Questions about killing are among the most acute of moral problems. And yet very often our thinking about them is confused and clouded with emotion, so that someone who approves of contraception and abortion may very well deplore capital punishment, using diametrically opposed arguments in each case. Writing with clarity and rigorous logic, Jonathan Glover examines the arguments we use in prohibiting or justifying the killing of others. He then goes on to consider the practical problems that we have to face. He looks at the moral difficulties brought about by the advance of modern medicine, at theories of capital punishment, and, turning to wider social and political concerns, at the justifications advanced for assassination, revolution and war. Throughout humanity and logic combine to make it a clear, concise and necessary book for all concerned with a broad range of vital contemporary issues."--from back cover.
