Why You Shouldn’t Kill Yourself

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Both sides in the euthanasia debate claim to have love and compassion on their side, with blockbuster tear-jerking movies driving home the notion that to kill is compassionate. This book is the perfect antidote to that onslaught. Just under the surface of the various formulations ('tricks of the heart') of the request to be killed lies a deep yearning for love and accompaniment felt by the vulnerable. In a kind-hearted, down to earth, conversational way, Windley-Daoust brings this yearning to the surface, dissolving the 'tricks' and kindling genuine love via clear understanding.”
