What happens when the fight for life becomes a question of letting go? In a world where medical technology can prolong life indefinitely, the moral and emotional cost of those decisions weighs heavily on families, patients, and caregivers.
The Ultimate Question challenges readers to confront the moral and emotional complexities of end-of-life decisions. Through a series of compelling true-to-life, scenarios, the book asks: When should we fight for life—and when is it more loving to let go?
From medical dilemmas and family disagreements to the anguish, of letting go, this book provides insight and perspectives for anyone facing or anticipating such moments.
As a well-known writer and speaker, Peter Swanson has travelled to Russia, Africa, Europe, and China. His Masters Degrees in Religion and Counseling and his Doctorate in Psychology provided a robust foundation for his thirty-year career as a university professor.
Born in South Africa, he and his late wife brought their three daughters aged 6, 8 and 10 to America and established their home in South-Western Michigan. He enjoys walking a few miles a day with his Corgi dog, and traveling with his newly-wed wife, who he met when they were 14 years old .
He is very grateful for the blessings of good health, for his rich life experiences, and for the inspiration to write the book.
