Morality, Mortality: Volume I: Death and Whom to Save From It cover

Why is death bad for us, even on the assumption that it involves the absence of experience? Whom should we save from death if we cannot save everyone? Kamm considers these questions, critically examining some answers other philosophers have given. She also examines specifically what differences between persons are relevant to the distribution of any scarce resources, e.g. bodily organs for transplantaion.

This is an intellectually challenging work which raises and discusses issues which should be widely debated, not only by specialists but by the public at large. * Journal of the Institute of Health Education *
Kamm is probably the most sophisticated deontologist writing on normative issues today. * Shelley Kagan, University of Illinois *
