Sinossi
Harrowing, moving, thought-provokinghow far would you go to end the suffering of your child?
In recent months the "righttodie" issue has gripped the nation. Two cases have captured the public imagination like no other: Frances Inglis, convicted of murder for ending the life of her braindamaged son, and Kay Gilderdale, acquitted for assisting the suicide of her chronically ill daughter. These parallel stories provide a window onto a world of terrible suffering, where women feel that the only course of action open to them is to help their own children to die. What would you do if your child was experiencing unbearable pain? Is it a mother’s duty in such a situation to perform the ultimate actto kill the person she loves more than anything else in the world? Is the strength of a mother’s love something that can be reflected in the law?

Dalla quarta di copertina
The bond between a mother and her child is the closest there is. A mother would do anything to protect her child. But what happens when the child is suffering beyond imagination? Should a mother allow her child to die to save them from pain? Frances Inglis and Kay Gilderdale were faced with this appalling dilemma, and, after intense private torment, acted to end the lives of their children. In dramatic cases, which gripped the hearts of everyone who followed them, both mothers were prosecuted for their actions: Frances was found guilty and went to prison, Kay was set free. A Mother's Love is the story of these two women and the decisions they had to make. A majority of the British people now believes that the law needs to be changed in such right-to-die cases. If you were caught in such a nightmarish situation, what would you do?
