This book is written for all those who are concerned about how their life may endand who wish to die without unnecessary suffering. Dr. Charles F. McKhann discusses many aspects of physicianassisted dying and explains why he thinks it should be made legally available under certain circumstances.Dr. McKhann, a specialist in cancer surgery, has conducted indepth interviews with people who were dying from a variety of illnesses and with the physicians who cared for them. Drawing on these interviews and on his own experiences as a physician, he looks at the dying process as it is encountered in painful and debilitating diseases and at the needs of patients and their families. Dr. McKhann presents the case for rational suicide, comparing a failed suicide attempt in the United States with a planned death in the Netherlands and illustrating the differences in approach and attitudes. He explains the ways in which physician assistance is already taking place and considers the physicians personal and professional concerns. And he reflects on relevant religious, moral, legal, and publicpolicy issues that are currently so widely debated. His thoughtprovoking book is a valuable resource not only for the general public but also for compassionate physicians who attend people with fatal diseases and for lawmakers who strive for understanding and courage in dealing with this new challenge.
