Publisher Description Rodney Symes candid and controversial account of the terminally ill people who he has assisted to end their lives.A Good Death is a candid and provocative account of the experiences of many terminally ill people Dr Rodney Syme has assisted to end their lives. Over the past thirty years Syme has challenged the law on voluntary euthanasia-at first clandestinely and now publicly-risking prosecution in doing so. He again risks prosecution for writing this book.A Good Death is a moving journey with those who came to Syme for help, and a meditation on what it means in our culture to confront death. It is also a doctors personal story about the moral dilemmas and ethical choices he faces working within the grey areas of the law.In this important book, Rodney Syme argues for the end of the unofficial conspiracy of silence within the medical profession and the decriminalisation of voluntary euthanasia in Australia.
