Ray D. Madoff. Immortality and the law : the rising
power of the American dead. Yale University Press, c2010. KF750.M328 2010 This
book discusses how the current legal system protects the rights of the dead
and describes the ways people are able to control their bodies, their
property, and their reputations well after they are deceased. The
author explains that the rights of the American dead are growing daily and
contends that this trend imposes real costs on the living. |

Wiktor Osiatyński. Human rights and their limits.
Cambridge University Press, 2009. K3240.O82 2009 This
book describes the debates surrounding human rights and calls for a “soft
universalism” conception of human rights that does not impose a particular
rights regime on others. The author argues that although rights are a
prerequisite of freedom, they should be balanced with other values that are
indispensable for social harmony and personal happiness. |
