Dying with dignity

Doctors do not always distinguish between saving lives and prolonging them... For Sister Leontine, a doctor herself and director of a hospital for many years, it was clear: if death is inevitable, the patient has the right to stop all aggressive treatment and to experience the last phase of life fully and with dignity. This Forum book is a powerful plea for a dignified farewell to life. The testimonies of care providers, family members and patients deeply affect the reader.
