Thorough, sound and compassionate
This is an exemplary book in practically every way. First, it is thorough. It canvasses almost all the known arguments in reasonable detail. Second, it does so clearly, without assuming a lot of knowledge on the reader's part. And third, its author shows enormous compassion for those in the last stages of life, and their right to die. This does not mean that she ignores or gives short shrift to contrary arguments. She does not. But she does, I think, come down fairly strongly in favour of assisted dying, though recognising that not everyone who wishes to die should, and that there need to be clear guidelines to provide relief of suffering in such a way that other vulnerable people will not be endangered. An excellent book in every way. This is the place to start, if you want to know about ethics and suicide.
