Beautiful Sunset - Everald Compton - Bog

For half a century Everald Compton has been an active and passionate advocate for Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD), campaigning for the right to make a choice as to whether or not people may end their lives this way.Now Everald has written a fascinating novel that tells the story of four very different people facing death, and within each he finds the humane and very human story of coming to terms with the end of one's life.Three practice Christianity, although quite differently. The fourth is an Atheist. They share a doctor, a Muslim woman.People who have a role in their lives are Jewish, Buddhist and Confucian.The local Anglican Bishop is an African Matabele and their lawyer an eminent citizen on the fringes of religion.Powerful is the word to describe the ending.Read this book and you will gain a clearer understanding of Voluntary Assisted Dying than if you attend a dozen learned lectures on it. You may also be moved to happily plan your own ideal final curtain call.Everald is aged 89, proudly Australian, and ready, if circumstances dictate it, to end his life by VAD.
