A Better Way of Dying: How to Make the Best Choices at the End of Life Paperback - 2010 - 1st Edition
by Jeanne Fitzpatrick; Eileen M. Fitzpatrick; Foreword by William Colby
Designed by two sisters--one a doctor, one a lawyer--the five-step Compassion Protocol outlined in this work offers a simple and effective framework for leaving caretakers unambiguous and legally binding instructions about one's wishes for his or her last days.
Summary
The fail-safe plan for ensuring one's final wishes are respected
Advanced directives and living wills have improved our ability to dictate end-of-life care, but even these cannot guarantee that we will be allowed the dignity of a natural death. Designed by two sisters-one a doctor, one a lawyer-and drawing on their decades of experience, the five-step Compassion Protocol outlined in A Better Way of Dying offers a simple and effective framework for leaving caretakers concrete, unambiguous, and legally binding instructions about your wishes for your last days. Meant for people in every walk of life-from the elderly, to those in the early stages of mentally degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, to healthy young people planning for an unpredictable future-this book creates space for a discussion we all must have if we wish to ensure comfort and control at the end of our lives..
