| Abstract
|
:
|
"In this volume, leading philosophers discuss the evaluation of death and its relevance for health policy. The authors challenge the current practice of assessing newborn deaths as the worst ones. It also discusses whether stillbirths should be included in our evaluation of deaths, and whether the deaths of young children are worse than that of newborns"--
