What do we want for ourselves and our loved ones, 'when the time
comes'? Jointly written, collected and curated by a doctor and
nurse working in end-of-life care, this collection of personal
experiences (of families and healthcare professionals) throws light
on social, cultural and individual influences on what is expected
but not necessarily wanted and when we need to start asking
ourselves and our loved ones - and our patients - about their
preferences. In particular, the issue of futile over-treatment
getting in the way of peaceful opportunities to be with friends and
family and say good-bye arises again and again. Far more universal
and pressing than 'the right to die' is the right to have a
non-medicalised and not over-extended, good quality end-of-life.
