  1. The Day I Die: The Untold Story of Assisted Dying in America Copies of this book should be in every doctor's office in the country, to educate patients and doctors themselves! &#8213Dine Rehm, interviewer and narrator of the PBS documentary When My Time ComesAn intimate investigation of assisted dying in America and what it means to determine the end of our lives.In this groundbreaking book, award- winning cultural anthropologist Anita Hannig brings us into the lives of ordinary Americans who go to extraordinary lengths to set the terms of their own death. Faced with a terminal diagnosis and unbearable suffering, they decide to seek medical assistance in dying&#8213alegal option now available to one in five Americans.Drawing on five years of research on the frontlines of assisted dying, Hannig unearths the uniquely personal narratives masked by a polarized national debate. Among them are Ken, an irreverent ninety-year-old blues musician who invites his family to his death, dons his best clothes, and goes out singing Derianna, a retired nurse and midwife who treks through Oregon and Washington to guide dying patients across life's threshold and Bruce, a scrappy activist with Parkinson's disease who fights to expand access to the law, not knowing he would soon, in an unexpected twist of fate, become eligible himself.Lyrical and lucid, sensitive but never sentimental, The Day I Die tackles one of the most urgent social issues of our time: how to restore dignity and meaning to the dying process in the age of high-tech medicine. Meticulously researched and compassionately rendered, the book exposes the tight legal restrictions, frustrating barriers to access, and corrosive cultural stigma that can undermine someone's quest for an assisted death&#8213an why they
