Description

"Negotiating a Good Death: Euthanasia in the Netherlands presents firsthand descriptions of euthanasia in practice in the Netherlands - something that has never been done before. This will provide a deeper understanding of the issues involved for all those interested in end-of-life decisions. Here is the first inside account of how decisions about euthanasia are made in real-life situations. Documenting two years of observations at a Dutch hospital, Negotiating a Good Death describes why patients request euthanasia, the social factors that influence doctors' decisions about granting patients' requests, and how patients and doctors confer over peaceful deaths."--Jacket.

First Sentence

One Tuesday morning just before Christmas I was on my way to the AIDS ward when I ran into Dr. Edelman.
