Time to Die: The Place for Physician Assistance

Drawing on in-depth interviews with people who were dying & with the physicians who cared for them, as well as on his own experiences as a physician, McKhann argues persuasively that physician-assisted dying should be made legally available under certain circumstances. He draws on extensive clinical experience in the treatment of patients with cancer, detailed interviews with seriously ill patients & the clinicians who care for them, & a thorough survey of literature. This book is both a thoughtful advocacy for legally empowering the medical profession to do what it has been doing for centuries & a rational argument for expanding that role even further. A thoughtful guide to the hotly contested issue of physician-assisted death.ÓMcKhann, Charles F. is the author of 'Time to Die: The Place for Physician Assistance', published 1999 under ISBN 9781422353639 and ISBN 142235363X.
