"Worldwide, the death rate is one per person. FINAL EXIT gives us some important options to this inevitable event."
Richard D. lamm (Governor)
"Some people want to eke out every second of life—no matter how grim— and that is their right. But others do not. And that should be their right. Until it is, until there is a law which would allow physicians to help people who want a final exit, here is Derek Humphry's book, fittingly named, to guide them."
Betty Rollin (author, last Wish)
"Nobody else could have done this book. It's the first of its kind in America. People in both the present and future will be in Derek Humphry's debt."
Dr. Joseph F. Fletcher (theologian)
"Derek Humphry has condensed 15 years of exploring the issue of euthanasia in an honest, clear, compelling book for those who seek the knowledge that will assure them a good way through this final passage, should it become necessary." Vissza
