Duty to die by Thompson, Janice A.(CARDINAL)352207;
A "what-if" fictional thriller set in the not-too-distant future, comes almost too close for comfort in a society lacking a sanctity for life. Can death be packaged in such a way that it actually begins to look like a viable option for those in distress? If so, what will the consequences be for the elderly, terminally ill, and disabled? When does life end...When the body ceases to function properly? When the quality of life doesn't meet certain standards? And who has the right to make the decision...except God? Duty to Die attempts to answer all of these questions.
