Subject: how we die

This book is probably of interest to cryonicists:

If you're like most people, you want to live as long as possible, then
die quickly and painlessly at home. That's probably not going to
happen. Today, 80% of Americans die in an institution. In most cases,
they don't die a "natural" death -- someone decides to let them go.
Every day, 7000 Americans die by decision. This book is about who gets
to make that decision, when, and how.

The article is written by William Colby, the family attorney in the
Nancy Cruzan case -- the first right-to-die case heard by the U.S.
Supreme Court. The book examines three landmark cases and what they
imply about how we are going to die in the future.
