Primarily I am looking for academic-quality online sources on the the
history of Euthanasia, Assisted Suicide, and Right to Die. 
Secondarily I would like bibliographic information on articles that if
they can't be read for free online can be found for a price online or
at a library.  I'm hoping to avoid propaganda from either pro-life
organizations or the right-to-die movement (which there seem to be no
shortage of).  Thanks.

Greetings Questionforyou,

Are these the types of links you seek?

Macmillan Encyclopedia of Death and Dying. 2 vols. 2003 
International and multidisciplinary in scope, the 320+ articles
encompass such topics as bioethics, black stork, euthanasia, and
physician-assisted suicide. Mugar Reference: HQ1073 .M33 2003
http://www.bu.edu/library/guides/bioethics.html
The volumes for purchase:

Search results from AARP on journal articles regarding euthanasia

Ideally I would like links to online articles/papers that I can read
on the history of these issues (legal history, history of the
movements to legalize/criminalize euthaniasia/assisted suicide).  I
think I am probably most intested in material relating to the U.S. and
the Netherlands.

My hope is to find what sources are available on the web.  If nothing
is available online, then a some kind of bibliography of what is
available in some scholarly journals would be useful.  I'm not certain
if there are scholarly articles on these topics, but I would assume
so.

I am less interested in encyclopedia articles.

I wasn't able to access the aarp link, it seems to have expired.

Thanks much!  I hope this clarifies, let me know if you have other questions.

Hi questionforyou,

I have been researching your question and believe the best link can be
found at the Longwood University, Greenwood Library's website. There
you will find a long list of Selective Journal Articles, some
containing links to the articles. Other promising articles can be
found online, but most require a subscription or fee. Please have a
look at Longwood's website and the other links below and let me know
if they are what you are looking for, if so, I'd be happy to post them
as an answer.

Both of these comments have been reasonably helpful.  I'm not sure how
you decide among you who claims the prize.  Thanks for your help!

Hi questionforyou,

Thank you for getting back to us, I'm glad to hear we were able to
help. To split it up, the easiest thing to do would be to post another
question with a reduced price, with either "for hummer-ga" or "for
czh-ga" in the subject line. Then, reduce the price of this question
for the other researcher to post their answer here.

Regards,
hummer

Ok, Hummer, this one is for you.  I thought a 75/25 % split seemed
fair.  I hope that it seems fair to the both of you too.  Czh-ga I'm
starting another question for $5 for you.  Thanks both!
