The Good Death: An Exploration of Dying in America by Ann Neumann
3.0
2.5*
Absolutely loved the first fifty pages. She discusses her father’s death at the age of 60 and how she failed to provide a “good death” to him. However, also discusses ways to prepare for death such as advance directives and POLST’s. Then Neumann starts writing about subjects that relate to a “good death” such as abortion, assisted suicide (aid in dying), brain death, the death sentence and even forced nutrition. It was thought provoking but I didn’t particularly like how she wrote certain topics nor her general writing style.
