Using interviews with leading medical and legal architects of Dutch practices, and evaluating actual cases, Dr. Hendin addresses the difficult questions: Who actually makes the decision that a patient will die? How do the needs and character of family, friends, and doctors affect the choice? Throughout the book and in his conclusion, Dr. Hendin shows what we can do to find better options for those facing the final phase of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Herbert Hendin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393317919\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393317916\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
