When Ann felt alone and abandoned, she turned to Rita Marker - having known Rita only as her most vocal opponent on the subject of legalizing euthanasia. And she explains the ramifications of euthanasia in a country without adequate health insurance, like America, where people who really want to live might choose death rather than bankrupt their families. Deadly Compassion is essential reading for anyone who has misgivings about giving doctors the right to kill. Marker is an engaging storyteller and she effectively states her case against euthanasia. Marker challenges her readers to use Ann Humphry's life and death to judge what is meant by the 'right' to die.
Marker is an impressive advocate whose views deserve careful consideration.
That's especially urgent now, as Bill and Hillary Clinton struggle to make medicine more cost-effective. To order a copy of Deadly Compassion , see order form.
