Patient-Directed Dying is his fourth book. In his new book, Dr. Preston gives compelling reasons why aid in dying is not suicide when used by terminally ill patients, and why physicians who help them die are not assisting suicide. He shows how outdated cultural attitudes impede understanding of how we die, why many physicians withdraw from their dying patients, and how the sanctity-of-life principle has become distorted to obstruct aid in dying.
Patient-Directed Dying is a manifesto calling for mercy and reason to learn more visit
