Chapter 12 of the book "Last Rights: The Struggle Over the Right to Die," by Sue Woodman is presented. It focuses on the involvement of the religious figures in the right to die debate. It is alleged that despite the fact that most religions are erected around interpretations of death and the possibility of an afterlife, very few religious figures are engaged in the battle over the right to-die. It is added that the terminally ill dying unaided deaths are suffering, but they are unconcerned.
