Although Americans are living longer than ever before, there is concern about the quality of life as it draws to a close. Options regarding nursing care, living wills, pain management, and counseling present a bewildering array of options from which choices must be made, often under difficult circumstances. Death and Dying Sourcebook provides up-to-date information on these issues so that the layperson can make intelligent decisions. Topics covered include pain management, end-of-life care, the hospice program, the effectiveness of living wills, the ethical and legal ramifications of euthanasia and assisted suicide, coping with the death of a child, organ donation, cryogenics, and life support systems.
