L.S. Dugdale: The Lost Art of Dying (Paperback, HarperOne) 3 stars

eh

3 stars

The writing was thin, many concepts were repeated and over-explained. Too religious for my taste, with a focus on Christianity and Judaism. There isn't a strong cohesive argument, though much of this reads as an essay. The author appears to want a good death by not putting a patient through undue hardship but also appears to disagree with medically assisted suicide for terminal patients. I'm not sure what her ideal death would look like. Would have loved more historical overview or a specific breakdown of navigating the medical system during a terminal diagnosis and death.
