But \u003ci\u003eThe Inevitable\u003c\/i\u003e moves beyond margins of the law to the people who are meticulously planning their final hours--far from medical offices, legislative chambers, hospital ethics committees, and polite conversation. Further still, it shines a light on the people who help them: loved ones and, sometimes, clandestine groups on the Internet that together form the \"euthanasia underground.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKatie Engelhart, a veteran journalist, focuses on six people representing different aspects of the right to die debate. Two are doctors: a California physician who runs a boutique assisted death clinic and has written more lethal prescriptions than anyone else in the U.S.; an Australian named Philip Nitschke who lost his medical license for teaching people how to end their lives painlessly and peacefully at \"DIY Death\" workshops. The other four chapters belong to people who said they wanted to die because they were suffering unbearably--of old age, chronic illness, dementia, and mental anguish--and saw suicide as their only option. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSpanning North America, Europe, and Australia, \u003ci\u003eThe Inevitable\u003c\/i\u003e offers a deeply reported and fearless look at a morally tangled subject.
