Decision Making:

all sides of the emotional issues surrounding end-of-life decision
making, the current legal climate, and hear from the mouths of
people most affected -- those facing death, then this might be
one of the most important letters you'll ever read.
Here's why:
You will never think about the Right-to-Die issue the same way again!

Robert C. Horn, III was more than just the editor of this book. Mr Horn
lived moment by moment contemplating these issues as a rare
15 year survivor of ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). Diagnosed in
1988 and paralyzed for the past decade, Bob used every ounce of energy to share his message of spirit and survival through a painstaking and complicated "coding" method for communicating his thoughts despite his inability to speak or move.
The editor of this book lived a life filled with end-of-life
decision making.

10
chapters written by people who have faced death adnd intimately involved
in their own end-of-life decision making.
You won't get the same opinion twice! Each chapter is a fresh new perspective on a difficult and complicated aspect of this issue.
Now, you're probably wondering how and why one book covers so much important territory. Let me explain.
This is a book that has been years in the making. When Bob Horn wrote his first book How Will They Know When I'm
Dead?, none of us would have thought a second book would be published. Bob's battle with ALS,
which lasted fifteen years, and his two books are both extraordinary accomplishments from a man with such a unique perspective on the
subject. Bob's spirit speaks so loud, you can hear him even though his paralysis
prevented him from moving or speaking.
The completion of this book alone is an amazing accomplishment. Bob presented the information as objective as he and the editors could possibly make it.
Who's Right (Whose Right?) offers readers the personal stories of ten individuals from various walks of life who have had to look death in the
face.

"This is a remarkable book. It plumbs the depths of the human mind and soul, pairing moving personal stories with a broad spectrum of thoughts on end-of-life issues." -- Rabbi Harold S. Kushner, author of bestseller, When Bad Things Happen to Good People | | "If we meet the challenge of providing adequate palliative care for these patients, assisted suicide and euthanasia will not seem necessary options and the issue of legalization may become irrelevant." -- Herbert Hendin, M.D., American Foundation for Suicide Prevention | | "Must the dying wait for a perfect society -- an ideal world -- before they can obtain compassionate and lawful relief from their suffering?" -- Derek Humphry, Author of Final Exit and founder of the Hemlock Society | | "The choices at the end of life should not be between living in pain and suicide...With hospice, the focus of care shifts from cure to comfort and although we cannot extend a person's life, we can enhance the quality." -- Samira K Beckwith, C.H.E., L.C.S.W., President/CEO, Hope Hospice and Palliative Care | "...those of us opposed to assisted death will press on with the challenge of helping those who suffer without having them feel compelled to kill themselves. We will value human life and the protection of the vulnerable in our society above other competing values. It is a course worthy of following." -- Edward Rivet, Legislative Director, Right to Life of Michigan |
| "...the suffering, and the deeply rooted belief systems of dying patients who plead for PAS (physician-assisted suicide), demand equal respect, and a measured response by the medical profession." -- Peter Goodwin, M.D., active in creation of the Oregon Death with Dignity Act | "Physician assisted suicide is really not suicide in the classic Christian understanding. For those who request death at the careful hands of a physician, life has already been taken from them. In most cases they would love to choose life, but that is no longer their choice." -- Rev. David Richardson, District Supt., California Pacific Conference of the United Methodist Church | Warning: DO NOT buy any Right-to-Die
