Rese�a del editor:

Second only to abortion for its incendiary power, the right to die is hotly debated by lawmakers, medical ethicists, and editorial writers across the country. It is a profound issue of conscience and quality of life that directly touches anyone who has had a terminally ill friend or family member, or who has a chronic or terminal illness themselves. Yet, although it involves the most intimate of life's questions, the issue is often sensationalized in the media and manipulated by political interest groups. What is really at stake for people who urgently claim the right to die? And for those who insist we should never knowingly bring on death?

Rese�a del editor:

Last Rights is a compassionate, comprehensive, up-to-the-minute examination of the right-to-die movement in America and the medical, legal, ethical, and social issues surrounding euthanasia. The stories behind the headlines are revealed - both (in)famous and lesser known - through stirring personal testimonies. Airing the views of activists and opponents, Sue Woodman considers the complex questions that will continue to engage us for as long as we live and die. In the end, we are left with this question: Could the right to die be humankind's ultimate civil rights struggle?
