Selected Summary
Options at the end of life
Abstract:
The author describes the choices that he and his family made to make his father's death peaceful. His father's condition had begun to deteriorate rapidly from an ill-defined dementing illness. The father had made his wishes clear: he did not want to prolong dying. The family struggled to find a way to honour the father's wishes.
