Publisher's Synopsis

Dr. Jean Marmoreo spent her career keeping people alive. But when the Supreme Court of Canada gave the green light to medical assistance in dying (MAiD) in 2016, she became one of a small group of doctors who chose to immediately train themselves in this new field. Over the course of a single year, Marmoreo learns about end-of-life practices in bustling Toronto hospitals, in hospices, and in the facilities of smaller communities.
