NEW BILL COLBY BOOK
Caring Connections and the National Hospice and
Palliative Care Organization are delighted to announce the May 30 release of
the new book by our Senior Fellow, Bill Colby – Unplugged: Reclaiming
Our Right to Die in America (Amazon Books, 2006).
FIRST REVIEW: The
influential national magazine, Publisher’s Weekly, says in the first
pre-publication review: “In 2005, the Terri Schiavo
case galvanized millions to think about end-of-life decision making and
question when life ends and how to define a good death. Colby, the lawyer for
Nancy Cruzan, whose 1988 case was one of the first to raise such questions,
writes elegantly about these issues. . . Although many other books have covered
these topics, few possess Colby’s engaging style and judicious insights.”

Hospice and Palliative Care Organization’s Marketplace, Amazon.com
