Opis

Modern medical technology has lengthened our lives and forever altered how we face our deaths -- but it has also created painful dilemmas that lawyers, doctors, spiritual leaders, and, above all, patients and their families are struggling with every day. Now, drawing on more than six years of firsthand research and reporting, noted journalist Marilyn Webb has written the one essential book we need to understand these new realities -- and to take positive steps to improve the care of the dying.
