Summary
"This book explores how the fight for assisted suicide was won in Canada by exploring the stories of the courageous Canadians who fought for the right to a dignified death. Some of the people featured in this book include: Sue Rodriguez, whose experience led to a split decision by the Supreme Court of Canada to retain laws against assisted suicide; Robert Latimer, convicted of second-degree murder for ending the life of his daughter who lived with debilitating cerebral palsy; and John Hofsess and Evelyn Martens, who spent years giving practical assistance to those seeking help in dying."-- Provided by publisher.
