This book will put you into a thoughtful, melancholy (let's face it - depressed) mood, but it is a necessary book that discusses important things that we all must consider. It addressed the role of the Medical community in cases where someone is near the end of their life. Large sections of the book focus on quality of life for seniors but it also addresses those that have terminal illness. It will give you a pit in your stomach and maybe even a tear to your eye but it sure will make you consider the quality of life you want for yourself or your loved ones and will allow you to see things from another angle.
