Final Acts of Love: Families, Friends, and Assisted Dying

Is it appropriate for the dying to end their lives? When should their families, friends, or professional caregivers help them to do so? How does one even begin to think about such decisions? This book provides the means to answer these questions and make well-reasoned, intelligent, humane decisions. Guides readers through this decision process and takes them into the secret world of assisted dying. Here are step-by-step criteria by which patients and caregivers can evaluate their personal situations and consider med., emotional, spiritual, and commun. aspects, quality of life, potential effects on others, as well as personal values and relationships. Assisted dying is ultimately a personal decision.Stephen Jamison is the author of 'Final Acts of Love: Families, Friends, and Assisted Dying' with ISBN 9780756753948 and ISBN 0756753945.
