In 2017 Susie Kennaway asked her son Guy to kill her. 88 years old,
with an older and infirm husband, Susie wanted to avoid sliding
into infantilised catatonia. The son immediately started taking
notes and Time to Go is the result. In turns a manual for those
considering the benefits of assisted dying, a portrait of a mother
son relationship, and a sympathetic description of old age, this
book is a route map through the moral, legal, emotional,
intellectual and practical maze that is the biggest issue facing
the senior generations today: leaving life on their own terms.
During their conversations about when and how to make Susie's final
exit, some of the difficulties of their fractious relationship
mellowed and some even melted, as the reality of what they were
planning brought them together. Many elderly people, like Susie,
have clearly stated that they wish to die in a manner and time of
their choosing. But the church, the law, the medical profession and
the pharmaceutical industry stand in the way, wagging their
fingers. A change is coming for the rights of the elderly, the way
it has come for the rights of women and gay people. Time to Go is a
rallying call in this fight. Life is too precious not to be lived
properly. As with a job, a relationship or a party, you have to
know when it's time to go.
