"Me Before You" by JoJo Moyes
I have yet to see the movie but really did enjoy the book.
Again another page turner as you try to figure out if Will is really going to die or if Lou can save him.
I hate to hear when people feel they need to end their lives but I had nothing but sympathy for Will as the life he knew was gone. I really had to think about what I would want in his position and realized it would be hard for anyone to want to continue to life that way.
I made me begin to questions the different between, "DNR" and "assisted suicide". When you think about it, what's the difference? With DNR the person is usually under some sort of medical duress and has previously requested not to be sustained. With assisted suicide, the medical duress has passed and you are sustained but still feel you need to end your life. Now I agree that God is the only one to decide whether you live or die but where's the line of human/medical intervention?
Lou tries to make Will realize that there is still life to live but is it enough? Would it be enough for you or me?
