[Press release]-Doctor, do I Have the Right to Live a Little Longer? Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide Uncovered

Just over a month after the launch of the citizens’ convention on the end of life, Tugdual Derville, who is spokesman for Alliance VITA entered the debate with an essay titled Doctor, do I Have the Right to Live a Little Longer?, to be published by Salvator on 19^th January.

Based on meetings with suffering patients, carers and political personalities, as well as media confrontations with fervent supporters of euthanasia, this incisive book is both a personal testimony and a solidly argued manifest which reveals the firm commitment of the author in defence of the most vulnerable. With great clarity, Tugdual Derville deconstructs the pseudo-freedom put forward by the defenders of a so-called “right to choose one’s death”: in truth, he points out, it represents a serious threat against the most vulnerable.
