The book questions whether or not a person has the right to “have a good death?” In today’s time, with the brilliant technology we have, we know that we can extend life. People are so scared to live their life knowing that sooner than later, they are going to be in pain. People don’t know the day to day struggle to see a terminally-ill loved one in pain. When there is a known solution to such a scary issue, why would we deprive people of that? The debate of euthanasia comes up very often and when it does it’s hard to talk about for most people. It’s a very personal issue that tugs at many people’s heart strings and often ends in more heart ache or confrontation.
