The Last Choice

Viac o knihe

Exploring the controversial concept of preemptive suicide in advanced age, the book argues that choosing to end one's life can be a rational decision to avoid the decline associated with aging. It presents criteria for assessing whether such a choice is soundly motivated and prudently timed. The author asserts that, in a society increasingly accepting of suicide as a means to escape suffering, it is essential to recognize that opting for an earlier death can be an identity-affirming act, allowing individuals to maintain their sense of self until the end.
