Value and Meaning of Life
Assisted Death
What should we think about the ethics of assisted dying? And what should the law permit and proscribe here? In this unfortunately necessary book, Sumner starts by pointing out that in our present situation certain ways of hastening death—refusing treatment and requesting terminal sedation—are accepted both legally and ethically. Also accepted, legally and ethically, is the right to suicide. But what he calls the Conventional View insists there is…

A New Argument for Anti-Natalism
Consider the view that coming into existence is bad for us. Can we hold this and yet deny that ceasing to exist would be good for us? I argue that we can. First, many animals have lives such that they would be better off not existing. Second, if persons and babies are distinct things then the same is true of babies.

Mortal Beings
In Defense of Environmental Philosophy
Environmental Philosophy
Beginning with an overview of current concerns, Belshaw locates our attitudes toward the environment within their cultural and historical milieu. He then examines the various positions in detail, ranging from the moderate view that we ought to consider not only ourselves but also other animals, to the seemingly more extravagant contention that non-sentient life, rocks, deserts B indeed all of the processes of nature B should be considered intrins…
