Physician-assisted death is legal in four states in the U.S. and in three countries in Europe. In 2012, two court cases involving assisted death have set the stage for new international precedents regarding euthanasia legislation worldwide. In Canada, Gloria Taylor, who suffered from Lou Gehrig’s disease, was granted the right to die via a “personal exemption” by British Columbia’s Supreme Court. In Britain, “locked-in” patient Tony Nicklinson pleaded his case to Britain’s High Court but was denied the right to die despite the tortured nightmare that was his existence. For people who are suffering from a terminal or incurable illness, the option of a peaceful passing is the issue at the forefront of modern society. Assessing the quality of life, and allowing patients who suffer from debilitating pain and dependence on others to gently leave this life, gives people a dignified alternative. Read To Gently Leave This Life to learn what you need to know about end-of-life decisions.

Elaine Feuer has assembled a world wide history of the progress made in permitting assistance in dying for people suffering unbearably with terminal and chronic illness. But it's not just the laws that were passed in which states and countries but a humanizing of this movement by discussing the lives and difficult deaths endured by the people who often caused the laws to change. The U.S. struggle for a humane and dignified death started with young Karen Ann Quindlen and the efforts of her religious parents to disconnect her from futile life support. From this tragedy came the first Living Will in 1976 with its attendant criticisms and predictions of abuse. To now where 4 states have approved physician aid in dying and several countries in Europe either permit voluntary euthanasia or assisted dying for foreigners as well as their own people. Feuer puts these changes in perspective and paves the way for what is bound to come next in extending the right of people to have choice, dignity and control at the end of their lives.Faye Girsh, President, World Federation of Right to Die Societies

To Gently Leave This Life The Right To Die Elaine Feuer 9780988969162 Books Reviews
Leaving me with an understanding and urgency to take action or to somehow make end-of-life decisions more visible to humanity. A very powerful and moving book. At times I had tears in my eyes and could feel the pain and the plea for compassion from these people, who are either terminally ill or suffering from an incurable disease. All of these voices not heard from, but crying in anguish all the same. Elaine Feuer thoroughly covers the facts and situations of real people, expressed objectively yet profoundly, with information anyone can relate to and understand. It is time to help humanity with this heartfelt book, which needs to be brought into the light and to readers all over the world.
To Gently Leave This Life is a very compassionate and relevant book for the 21st Century. I could feel the agony of the terminally ill, forced to live in pain and without dignity until their very last second. All of us will be faced with end-of-life decisions, and after reading this book I know that I want the right to decide on how I leave this life.
To Gently Leave this life The Right to Die caught my attention since it (and its reviews) promised me it to be an overview of Right to Die in the World. It did cover most of it, but was not what I hoped it to be an overview of not only laws and regulations, but also of juridical, ethical and legal considerations around the world - especially in countries where legalisation is failing (France, UK, USA). Still - the work done is admirable.
I would not want to recommend the book. If someone who is dying thinks there are answers that you need for a peaceful death keep looking.
