Recenzii
"Why can’t terminally ill patients who no longer have the choice between life and death, at least have a choice between a good death and a bad death? . . . So to read the caring, humane views put forward by Romain is a huge relief. . . . He is fair-minded and bases his arguments on real evidence for real people."
"If there can be a life-affirming book about death, this is it. Romain’s compassion and humanity permeate every page. His professional and personal experiences have given him privileged access to the views of patients and their relatives. Their hopes and fears have influenced his opinions and provide the background to this story."
"Romain is a gentle, insightful, and honest guide to assisted dying, and makes a powerful case for it. This moving book left me thinking this option is a loving and necessary expression of our care for one another."
"We are so fortunate to have someone as articulate and empathetic as Romain to make this crucial argument."
"The best and most balanced account of the Assisted Dying debate. It favors assisted dying in a way that addresses all its aspects. And it’s very moving as it describes the ways a death may be experienced and marked. It is truly a brilliant insightful book."
"As a former hospice CEO, I recognize both the power and the limits of end-of-life care. Romain’s compassionate case for assisted dying sets out beautifully the essential reform we need to offer terminally ill adults true dignity and choice."
