A Dignified Ending challenges the idea that prolonging life by every means possible is the only reasonable response to a dire diagnosis or to intractable suffering. It uses true accounts to illustrate how people have choreographed their deaths, and it recommends that death with dignity laws include dementias and other neurodegenerative disorders.
