Critics Review

In Do Not Go Gentle, Kathleen Stock advances the philosophical and empirical case against an assisted death service with her characteristic incisiveness, lucidity, and humour. While the winds of change may seem to favour a fundamental moral shift in our approach to suicide and euthanasia, this timely book sets out why this would be an outcome we should deeply regret and is a must-read, regardless of your starting position in this debate
Sonia Sodha
This is a deeply thoughtful book, scholarly while being highly accessible, and an antidote to the superficial - and often misleading - soundbites propagated by campaigning groups
Professor Katherine Sleeman, King’s College London
In an overheated and often bitter debate, it is very welcome to have a contribution like this - shaped not just by intense feeling, nor by any sort of ideological absolutism, but a clear, careful, evidence-based case for caution around the legalisation of assisted dying. It deserves wide attention, whichever side of the debate you find yourself on
Rowan Williams
With characteristic clarity and calm, Kathleen Stock has cut through the fetish of choice and revealed the meaning of 'assisted dying.' We should all be grateful. Long live Kathleen Stock
Lord Glasman, author of Blue Labour: Politics and the Common Good
A timely analysis of a vital topic
Jesse Norman MP, Shadow Leader of the House of Commons
Kathleen Stock does not beat about the bush: you cannot choose to die, only choose to let others bear the burden of killing you, or try to kill yourself... Thereby she well brings out how, from a virtue ethics perspective beyond that of rights and utility, the absolutist and pragmatic cases against euthanasia in fact constitute one united, teleological case... Whatever side you are on in this debate, this is the one book on the topic that you should read
John Milbank, Emeritus Professor, Department of Philosophy, University of Nottingham
With characteristic clarity, Kathleen Stock dissects the starry-eyed case for legalising assisted suicide, and warns against the socially corrosive realities of its institutionalisation. She adds a fresh voice to a well-rehearsed public controversy
Lord Nigel Biggar, CBE, Regius Professor Emeritus of Moral Theology at the University of Oxford and former member of the ethics committee of the Royal College of Physicians
