Book Description:

Angels of Death presents the findings of an interview-based study of illicit euthanasia as practised by health professionals working with HIV/AIDS patients. The principal author conducted 49 detailed interviews with medical practitioners, and nurses (and some therapists and community workers), primarily in Sydney, Melbourne and San Francisco. The interviews provide an insight into the social practices that surround illicit assisted suicide and euthanasia.
