Scripting Death: Stories of Assisted Dying in America

Scripting Death offers an insightful look into the implementation of assisted dying laws in the United States through two years of ethnographic research in Vermont. It weaves together personal stories from patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers to explore how medical aid-in-dying is practiced and perceived in real-life settings. The book sheds light on the complex dynamics behind access to end-of-life choices and engages with broader cultural conversations about death, dying, and individual autonomy.
