The most complete source available detailing options and methods of rational suicide, especially in the event of unbearable and unrelievable suffering. Bringing reassurance, knowledge and hope, and the strength to face an uncertain future. Even with modern technology, not all ends are good ones. Although palliative care continues to make great strides, the final hours or days of some people are so difficult that they elect to take matters into their own hands and end things sooner rather than later. Once that decision is taken, lack of knowledge, planning or preparation can result in even greater suffering. Five Last Acts collects the wisdom of multi-disciplinary research, workshops and developments worldwide in a major new volume. The body of the work is written in easy-to-understand language to offer a practical guide for every reader. Technical explanations are reserved for the appendix. Five Last Acts provides the reliable options for the last act in your own play. Feedback on the first edition: "I have just finished reading your most excellent book, Five Last Acts; it is so well-researched, so informative, so clear, that it leads me to ask this question: which rational person would not want to obtain a copy of this book as an insurance policy against an uncertain future?" Chris Goodwin The new edition of Five Last Acts is completely revised and expanded, giving even clearer insights and the most comprehensive guidance on self-deliverance worldwide. Over 400 pages with more than 40 illustrations and over 450 references. It is the only bok of its kind that includes the emergency methods and practices that can even be used if one finds oneself confined to a hospital or a nursing home.

Über den Autor
Chris Docker is an established writer in Law and Ethics in Medicine, producing key works for the professions, academics and the public on topics that include living wills, death & dying, and human transplants. For over 15 years he has been one of the world's leading researchers into the reality of 'self-deliverance' - the methods to accomplish one's own easy, peaceful and dignified death - when all other measures to relieve suffering and indignity have failed. He is Director of Exit and has led the interactive workshops run for many years across the UK. Five Last Acts is his third book on self-deliverance.

Five Last Acts II

This book is outstanding in its clarity and calm insight into euthanasia. A must read for thoughtful people. You really cannot make a judgement until you have read it and, when you have read it, you will understand the public need for such an enlightening book.

Five Last Acts (2nd edition)

I found this book to be very informative. Yes, as the author indicates, the material should have gone through additional editing prior to printing but considering the amount of work gone into preparing this kind of book and the countless difficulties that may have been associated with publishing something on this subject, I can live with the editorial shortcomings.
The delivery was the slowest on anything I have purchased on Amazon but, conceivably, this may have something to do with subject matter.
All together, I'm happy with the purchase.

I wish there was a higher rating option than 5 stars. I did not want to shill out the money for just a book, but you get your moneys worth 10 folds. If you are looking at this book & thinking such a thing is so easy, you are painfully wrong! A very easy read, as I do not read much at all, and more informative than all of google put together. I would send Chris Docker an extra $20 to have dinner on me just for doing the work if he listed his paypal :)
