Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Patrick is dying a slow, agonizing death. He wants his friend, Dr. Ron Grey to help himbut not to help him get better. Instead Patrick wants Ron to help him end his suffering by helping him end his life. This is the premise of a story that Paul Chamberlain employs to reveal the ethical and emotional complexities of a movement that is gaining supporters daily. It is a story that sends Ron Grey on a difficult journey across a continent and through a minefield of conflicting ideas and values. Should people have a legal right to choose the time of their death? Can adequate safeguards be employed to protect the public from potential abuses of physicianassisted suicide laws? What does it mean for people to die with dignity? Will people feel an obligation not to burden their families with their prolonged illness? What has been the experience in the Netherlands, which has had a physicianassisted suicide law for over twentyfive years? What about the possibility of misdiagnosis? Is there a legitimate public interest in what appears to be a purely private act? Can morality be legislated at all? All of these vital issues are clearly and carefully considered. Yet as we move through the legal, political, medical and ethical questions, we also see the personal side of these topics played out in the context of a caring family and a deep friendship. Here is a timely and helpful book on one of the most controversial concerns of our day.
