Description
A fascinating journey into the art of dying well. Jackie McMakin describes what led her, as a healthy woman in her late eighties, to choose what she calls a "natural death" by voluntarily stopping to eat and drink (VSED). A timely book, it delves into the question everyone over sixty asks themselves, "Is there an alternative to being warehoused in front of a TV, draining family resources, and unable to enjoy life just because you can feed yourself and your 'Do Not Resuscitate 'doesn't apply?" A brave book that charts a new course and serves as an antidote to a medical establishment bound to keep life going at any cost.
