I haven't read the book. The whole issue is a nightmare. Many pro-euthanasia people are sincere and caring, yet their devaluation of life in all its forms is the endpoint of the suicidal journey. Our responsibility to care for one another is overlooked as is the spirituality surrounding death and dying. Thanks, Amy. I haven’t read the book. The whole issue is a nightmare.

Have you read the "Children of Men" by P.D James, John? Don't be put off by the movie, it is nothing like the book. In this post apocalyptic novel, the elderly are 'peacefully' placed on rafts in white robes and floated out to sea... They call it the "quietus". More social commentary than fiction!
