Paul Brand: Fight to the Death, Gebunden

Klappentext

The definitive book on the global battle over assisted dying, exposing the fierce moral, legal and political clashes that define one of the most urgent human rights debates of our time.

Every story in this book begins with a life shaped by love.

Assisted dying is a question that reaches into the deepest parts of us, sitting at the intersection of medicine, morality and personal liberty. For decades, debates around legalisation have played out across the world, even as people on both sides have suffered, struggling with impossibly complex choices.

In Fight to the Death, award-winning journalist Paul Brand explores the lives unfolding behind the headlines, collecting true stories from those who stand on both sides of assisted dying: people living with unrelenting pain who long for autonomy in their final days, and those who have lost someone they love to a decision they could not accept.

These narratives are not arguments on either side of a political debate, but lives unfolding - a mother facing the slow erosion of her body, a son believing he made a merciful choice. Brand takes us inside the rooms where those decisions are confronted - in the hospitals, kitchens, courtrooms and quiet late-night conversations.

Honest and unflinching, Fight to the Death invites readers to witness, not judge. This is a book about the limits of the human body, the strength of family, and the emotional landscapes no law can ever capture.
