About the book
Last Rights is a compassionate, comprehensive, up-to-the-minute examination of the right-to-die movement in America and the medical, legal, ethical, and social issues surrounding euthanasia. The stories behind the headlines are revealed - both (in)famous and lesser known - through stirring personal testimonies. Airing the views of activists and opponents, Sue Woodman considers the complex questions that will continue to engage us for as long as we live and die. In the end, we are left with this question: Could the right to die be humankind's ultimate civil rights struggle?
First sentence: Since the early 1990s, when the bizarre figure of Jack Kevorkian drove his now-famous rusty Volkswagen van onto the national scene, his front-seat passenger, death, has muscled its way into the headlines, into the nation's courtrooms and legislatures, and into our collective political consciousness.
