"There is a powerful, penetrating message: A good death should be
considered a human right, and how we die the final choice each of
us makes in life."--André Picard, health columnist for The Globe
and Mail and author of The Gift of Death: Confronting Canada's
Tainted Blood Tragedy
Sandra Martin frankly challenges us to confront death. Through A
Good Death, we learn about the people who helped shape our assisted
death revolution. We are drawn deep into the complex medical,
legal, and social realities of dying in Canada--and we will be the
better for it.--Jocelyn Downie, Professor, Law and Medicine,
Dalhousie University; Trudeau Fellow 2015
Sandra Martin, Canada's most eloquent obituary writer, brings her
exquisite insight to the inescapable challenge of our lives: How to
die. Her exploration of the human finale, including eldercare,
assisted suicide, and spiritual reconciliation, help demystify the
inevitable and prod us to live more profoundly.--Paula Todd, author
of A Quiet Courage: Inspiring Stories From All of Us
