E-raamat: Better Death: The Case for Assisted Dying

If there can be a life-affirming book about death, this is it. Jonathan Romains 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. * Graeme Catto, former President of the General Medical Council * Jonathan 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. * Revd Canon Rosie Harper * We are so fortunate to have someone as articulate and empathetic as Jonathan Romain to make this crucial argument. * Daniel Finkelstein OBE * The best and most balanced account of the assisted dying debate. It favours assisted dying in a way that addresses all its aspects. And its very moving as it describes the ways a death may be experienced and marked. It is truly a brilliant, insightful book. * Charlie Falconer, former Lord Chancellor and Justice Secretary * As a former hospice CEO, I recognise both the power and the limits of end-of-life care. Jonathan Romains compassionate case for assisted dying sets out beautifully the essential reform we need to offer terminally ill adults true dignity and choice. * Mark Jarman-Howe, former Chief Executive of St Helena Hospice *
