The Modern Art of Dying: A History of Euthanasia in the United States
Shai J. Lavi
How we die reveals much about how we live. This book traces the history of euthanasia in the United States to show how changing attitudes toward death reflect new and troubling ways of experiencing pain, hope, and freedom. It shows how over time, the term came to mean a death blessed by the grace of God, and later, medical hastening of death.
