The new working title for my novel is LAST RIGHTS. It feels like a keeper. This is the central theme: who should be the final manager of one's death? The medical profession? The state? The individual? Most, I think, would say the individual but without thinking it through. Because if the individual is the manager of his death, then suicide (assisted for humane reasons) should be sanctioned. We only embrace this, if at all, for terminal folks.
At any rate, this is the issue that CJ gets involved with in the story. And he faces his own mortality for the first time.
