5.0 out of 5 stars Helps readers with hard decisions about a dying loved one., 17 Jun 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: In the Arms of Others: A Cultural History of the Right to Die in America (Hardcover)
In The Arms of Others is an extremely moving story of people, including the Quinlan family, who have faced agonizing decisions about whether to continue to maintain life support for a comatose loved one. The book gives a clear picture of the laws and medical practices that families deal with...and will provide readers information to help them make up their own minds. The story is gripping as a novel. I found it profoundly stirring, even though I don't have such a life-and-death decision before me now.
