With her trademark sharp thinking and dry wit, the bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eMaterial Girls\u003c\/i\u003e argues that despite what some progressives might tell you, assisted death will not give a person more \"freedom\" or \"control\" over their lives. Whether you have a terminal illness, are in chronic pain, or are disabled, being able to ask your doctor to kill you fundamentally changes society's attitude towards the vulnerable - and in a sinister direction. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Life is complex. For some individuals, an assisted death might be the right choice. But we should be deeply wary of introducing a system that offers death as just another option, especially when palliative care is so under-resourced. Expertly marshalling the arguments, Stock's laser polemic cuts through the wishful thinking and clouded reasoning that surrounds the issue and reaffirms life, rather than death, as what we should be fighting for. Collectively, we should rage against the dying of the light.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathleen Stock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0349136645\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780349136646\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bridge Street Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/07\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Kathleen Stock","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48114107941119,"sku":"9780349136646","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_70677c6d-760f-4321-84c8-aa3dd3a05a49.jpg?v=1769619165","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/do-not-go-gentle-kathleen-stock-9780349136646","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
