MY WORK
Welcome to my website. Here you will discover my memoir on campaigning for death with dignity, grief and fierce dogs. You also can learn of my work on end-of-life issues, and read my blog on guiding in Alaska.

The Violence of Living
A Memoir on Dying and Wild Dogs
My memoir tells the story of how my wife Mary Klein changed the law in the nation's capital about the rights of the terminally ill to take medications to die peacefully. It also is a love story and a narrative about how two ferocious dogs enabled me to heal from grief.
