Approximately two-thirds of deaths in the United States involve
a doctor's partnership with an individual, whether it be for the
administration of pain relief or sedation or for the act of
discontinuing or not beginning life-sustaining treatment. In "A
Midwife through the Dying Process," Timothy Quill, M.D., explores
that partnership and the complex end-of-life issues that surround
physician-assisted death. Here are the stories of nine individuals
and their very different endings, common only in each person's
struggle to confront issues of law and ethics and to realize a
"good"death.
