Description

Essential reading on assisted dying, blending ethical debate with practical guidance.



Assisted dying is one of contemporary society's most pressing and divisive social issues. Should terminally ill people in pain be allowed to choose death on their own terms? This timely and accessible book lays out the moral, legal, and practical dimensions of the debate. It draws on real-life experiences, explores opposing viewpoints with sensitivity, and examines the wider social and ethical implications. Designed for readers of all beliefs and backgrounds, it presents the facts with clarity and compassion. A pioneering section also offers the first guide to meaningful ceremonies at the time of an assisted death, helping families honor life and ease grief. Whether you support, oppose, or are unsure about assisted dying, this essential book provides insight and guidance on a deeply personal issue.
