Ebook PDF The Death Law, by Claire Cole Curcio
In the early decades of the twenty-first century, Congress unexpectedly passes a law stating that citizens over the age of seventy who can no longer care of themselves are subject to euthanasia by the government. When it is signed by the president, the so-called death law—hidden as a rider on legislation related to defense spending and designed to end a government shutdown—the public is appalled.
Julia Sanchez, a veteran congressional staffer in her late fifties, is determined to fight the new law; her parents, Henry and Beatriz, are in their seventies and are in its crosshairs. Along the way, she joins forces with journalist Jake Jordan, who is vigorous and active in his career despite being in his midsixties. As the two work to counteract the law, they find themselves drawn more and more to each other, and Jake gradually becomes involved with Julia’s parents and their caregiver, Hattie. Can their combined efforts overcome the cruelty of the death law?
In this novel, a congressional aide and an investigative journalist struggle against the terrible threat of a law ordering the death of senior citizens no longer able to care for themselves.
“While readers will be charmed by the beautiful story of love and devotion, both familial and romantic, they will also be challenged by the horrifying idea of a society willing to throw out its elderly.”
—Ann Bernardi, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

This novel certainly does that for me from three different directions. I am a former member of The US House of Representatives, a physician and well past my 70th birthday. I understand the conundrum that lawmakers face with the multi trillion national debt, the increasing numbers of senior citizens who getting even older with the fantastic advance in medical science and the many other areas that are increasing the population of our country. And physicians who find themselves hounded by the government in so many ways to do more with and for less. And the seniors who even now, in so many instances, find it difficult to get medical services for various reasons. If you are a senior you know what I am referring to. The goal of the death law, may in the not too distant future, be achieved by omission rather than by commission. Seniors simply may not be able to find care.The author softens the reality of the death law with a great love story. which also has a surprise ending. The novel is really a great read and I give it five stars.

Not only is it a shockingly possible scenario, but it is told within a human drama that gives it emotional anchors and brings it close to home. The characters became very real to me. It takes a powerful idea, but rather than going in a melodramatic direction, it is actually much more realistic. We watch these characters wrestling with how the issues affect their lives and those around them while the politics, in the background, moves as slow as Washington always does. It is an inspirational human drama that threads philosophy and research on aging disguised as fiction, never bogging us down too long in detail and often giving the facts a voice. Having the newly forming and reforming family as the center of gravity for all this is very powerful. This was really a novel of the human spirit, but one with a warning for society that is immediate and palpable. It was a great journey to be part of.

Their children need to read it too. It explores the consequences of aging for both these generations--aging people and caregivers alike. It would be a great novel for groups discussion and poses the problem of what to do with (or for) those no longer productive in our society. If they cannot care of themselves, is "the death law" a viable solution? Should it be vehemently opposed? Or is there a better way? The serious questions the book poses are lightened by the delightful love story and the possibility of new beginnings--no matter what our age.
