What They're Saying
Critics Review
“People want to end their lives for different reasons. Some don’t want to deal with pain. Others wish to avoid the humiliation of being dependent on others, or losing control over their bodily functions.

The author’s approach to all such cases is compassionate, non-judgmental and humane.”
