On life and death

WERE YOU ONE OF THE MANY who were moved by the courageous story of the Tongeren politician Marcel Engelborghs? On March 4, 2008, the terminally ill 60-year-old man took his own life. Through euthanasia. With the media as witnesses. His end of life was therefore controversial and left no one cold. This book, with a foreword by Guy Verhofstadt, tells a nuanced but also gripping story about a bon vivant who was desperate to live, but ultimately wanted to decide for himself when it was enough. "I knew Marcel Engelborghs. It was only after his concrete and public choice for euthanasia that it became tangible how important the law on the end of life is. This life and death story shows that very comprehensibly. It grabs you by the neck." GUY VERHOFSTADT Ann De Cnodder (°1972) has a master's degree in communication sciences, is the manager of the writing company Palabras' and is politically active. She met Marcel Engelborghs
