Abstract:
There are few decisions more upsetting than deciding if and when the time is right to end a life. Is it more important to protect life at all costs, or to provide individuals with the right to choose what is best for them? The author provides teenagers with multiple perspectives on the complex issue of providing medical assistance in dying. She encourage readers to keep an open mind, and reach their own conclusions.
