The Supreme Court of Canada subsequently reversed its position in a 2015 case brought by the family of Kay Carter, who had traveled abroad for access to an assisted death.

Over fifteen thousand people per year now pursue this option. This timely book explains how we got here and the decisions that still lie ahead.","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46357596143767,"sku":"9780774872126","price":2944.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780774872126.webp?v=1769305643","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/deciding-on-death-rodriguez-carter-and-medically-assisted-dying-in-canada-9780774872126","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
