  Known for his stand onthe legislation of voluntary euthanasia for the elderly and the sick, the author in this pamphlet makes the case for the legal right of the elderly to end their own lives, with dignity and humanity, when they feel that death calls them. In an increasingly sophisticated and medically advanced society, people are living longer than ever before, but the author argues that artificially prolonged life is not always beneficial - or most importantly - desired by the patient. The pamphlet also explores the issue of death and argues why we should stop our irrational fear of dying.
