All are welcome to join executive director Lisa Vigil Schattinger and other supporters in reading and discussing The Inevitable by Katie Engelhart.
More states and countries are passing right-to-die laws that allow the sick and suffering to end their lives at pre-planned moments, with the help of physicians. But even where these laws exist, they leave many people behind. The Inevitable introduces readers to ordinary people who are fighting to find dignity and authenticity in the final hours of their lives. — From the publisher
