With attention to media representations and public understandings of Alzheimer's disease, Alzheimer's Disease, Media Representations and the Politics of Euthanasia sheds light on the processes contributing to these changes in public opinion, investigating the drivers of vexed political debate surrounding the issue and examining the manner in which both sides of the euthanasia debate mobilise support, portray their opponents and make use of media technologies to frame the terms of discourse."--Publisher's website. 650 0 $a Alzheimer's disease $x Moral and ethical aspects. $x Palliative treatment $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Medical ethics. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85082929 650 0 $a Health in mass media. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85059569 650 12 $a Alzheimer Disease $x psychology. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D000544Q000523 650 22 $a Attitude to Death. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D001293 650 22 $a Health Knowledge, Attitudes, Practice. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D007722 650 22 $a Journalism, Medical. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018156 650 22 $a Mass Media $x ethics. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D008402Q000941 650 22 $a Terminal Care $x ethics. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D013727Q000941 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210021604.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7E905170FB5411E7891C5F6197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
