Book Synopsis
Offers a powerful way of thinking about it philosophically. Focusing on the concepts of human dignity and the sanctity of life, this title employs Derridean deconstruction to uncover self-contradictory and damaging assumptions that underlie both sides of the debate.

Trade Review
"Deconstructing Dignity is an excellent book. It is well conceived and wonderfully executed. It not only intervenes in this particular debate on the right to die but takes up important and long-standing concepts and problems in the history of philosophy and culture; it dismantles vapid truisms and opens onto the possibility of a thought of life-and death-that is not always already lost within life's supposed dignity and sanctity." (David E. Johnson, University at Buffalo, SUNY)"
