Leaving
"An exquisite compilation of impeccable sentences and lyrical paragraphs that elucidates the complexities of assisted suicide with its clarity, its humanity, its breadth, and its depth."
Mortality
The first book length anthropological study of voluntary assisted dying in Switzerland, Leaving is a narrative account of five people who ended their lives with assistance. Stavrianakis places his observations of the judgment to end life in this way within a larger inquiry about how to approach and understand the practice of assisted suicide, which he characterizes as operating in a political, legal, and medical "parazone," adjacent to medical care and expertise.
