The Day I Die: The Untold Story of Assisted Dying in America by Anita Hannig

3.0

The book mostly lives up to its title of exploring the story of assisted suicide in America. I found myself wanting more earnest engagement with the critiques of assisted suicide, both in terms of the ethics of participating/enabling in assisted suicide, of adequately assessing patient autonomy in decision-making, and exploring the entangled role of families. Not necessarily the purpose of this book, but without these components, the story contained within is relatively one-sided.
