Final Choices: To Live or To Die in an Age of Medical Technology
George M. Burnell, M.D.

Choosing to die requires careful consideration and good advice. Dr. Burnell sensitively discusses patients' fear of pain or physical deterioration; spiritual, legal, and financial counseling; necessary official documents; and the possible merits of hospice care. An extensive collection of sample forms, a glossary of medical terms, and a diagram of states' policies on "right-to-die" issues make this book invaluable to psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, lawyers, the clergy, legislators, hospital administrators, social workers, and terminally ill patients and their families.
