The Inevitable

- Reviews -

A brilliantly sensitive and deeply moving account of assisted dying. * Stephen Westaby, Sunday Times bestselling author of Fragile Lives * I couldn' t stop reading. Katie Engelhart refuses to look away from death, or more accurately, from dying. The Inevitable challenges us to keep looking and asking hard questions, even if we are uncomfortable with the answers. * Anne Marie Slaughter, author of Unfinished Business: Women, Men, Work, Family * Katie Engelhart has addressed an important question with clarity and compassion, drawing on the experience of individuals who, in their choices about when and how to die, teach us that a dignified and peaceful death adds value to life. * A. C. Grayling * If your much-loved dog is suffering and incurable, you ask a vet to end her life peacefully and painlessly. It is the moral thing to do. But for you and me it is different. In the transition to our peaceful oblivion, we are condemned to endure a purgatorial interlude of more or less protracted dying. There is a legal double standard. Katie Engelhart ably sets out the case for the right to choose when to die. I find it hard to imagine how a decent and rational person could resist it. * Richard Dawkins * A vital, gripping, deeply reported book, on what for us all of, sooner or later, is the most important topic in our lives. * Ben Judah, bestselling author of This is London * An urgent and important book by a gifted young writer. With enormous empathy and rigor, and in lucid prose, Katie Engelhart grapples with the fundamental question of philosophy-judging whether or not a life is worth living. Wherever you fall on the debate over the right to determine one' s own time and manner of death, The Inevitable will force you to re-examine your deepest assumptions about euthanasia and what it means to live and die with dignity. * Thomas Chatterton Williams, Contributing Writer of The New York Times Magazine *
