You won't regret reading A Chosen Death,
By A Customer
This review is from: Chosen Death: The Dying Confront Assisted Suicide (Hardcover)
Dr. Lonny Shavelson offers a powerful, wonderful, and rare
insight into the medicalization of death in America. He
chronicles several terminally ill individuals and their
attempts to die with dignity. I couldn't put the book down.

A penetrating look at assisted suicide,
By A Customer
This review is from: Chosen Death: The Dying Confront Assisted Suicide (Hardcover)
The author is a physician who followed several cases of
dying persons who from the onset of their terminal illnesses
expressed a desire to commit suicide towards the end.
Dr.Shavelson tracked these cases over 3-4 years and records
the medical and emotional roller-coaster the patients
went through. The best examination on a personal basis
of assisted suicide so far published.

This review is from: Chosen Death: The Dying Confront Assisted Suicide (Hardcover)
This is one of the finest books in this genre. Stories about real people and the caring doctor who befriended them, tended them and saw to their final wishes. Highly recommended!
