Part of Alan Gregory, book 14
First published 2006
Dr. Alan Gregory faces his most difficult case when he encounters the Death Angels, a mysterious organization that offers people an irreversible choice. The concept is simple but chilling: individuals can decide when they want to die, but once they commit, no second thoughts are allowed. Gregory must navigate this ethical minefield as patients and loved ones grapple with impossible decisions about life and death. The psychologist finds himself questioning what he would do in their position. Would he sign up if given the chance? The case forces Gregory to examine the deepest human desires for control over our own mortality while confronting the consequences of choices that cannot be undone. White constructs a scenario that asks readers to consider their own limits and values when facing terminal illness or tragic injury.
