Betsy's Recommendations: A Movie and a Book
Betsy just wrote me to recommend a couple items that have caught her interest and excitement.
The first is the movie Stolen. The main plot of the movie focuses on art theft, but according to Betsy the movie contains a subplot touching on nose prostheses, facial disfigurement and facial reconstruction. The film is now available for purchase as a DVD.
The second item Betsy is recommending is To Die Well, a book by Dr. Sidney Wanzer and Dr. Joseph Glenmullen. From the book's web site, this phrase seems to best describe its purpose.
"The information in To Die Well is both comforting and empowering. Knowing our rights to refuse treatment, as well as legal ways to bring about death if pain or distress cannot be alleviated, will spare us the frightening helplessness that can rob our last days of meaning and connection with others."
