Took me a bit to get through this book but only because I wanted to soak it all in. Only eleven states in the US have legalized M.A.I.D and have given those with terminal illnesses a choice in how they will die. The author spent five years following volunteers who help with the assisted death process and she was able to write about patients stories on why they wanted to use the Death with Dignity Act! A must read for those interested in this!
