In 1992 Dying for Care: Hospice Care or Euthanasia was published. Just by clicking on the name “Free Online Book” above you will be able to read the complete original text of the book plus a summary of the 1995 Report by the Canadian Senate’s Special Committee on Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide.

This website is an opportunity to provide you with the profound wisdom of those hospice palliative care professionals and volunteers quoted in the book. It is our goal at Legacies Inc. to update this book in 2009. Much has changed in the public debate since the original publication of the book. The book’s sequel hopes to record those changes.

Harry van Bommel, the original author and founder of Legacies Inc. is still opposed to legalizing euthanasia on historical grounds.  He wants to ensure that everyone involved in the debate will have up-to-date information to make an informed decision about the consequences of legalizing euthanasia. He hopes that you will participate by providing your own insights that we can share with others.
