Inspired by actual events, When Death Becomes Convenient is the story of comatose patient, Tyler Rand. It is a tragedy of unexpected victims; not only the hospitalized but also doctors with reputations on the line, lawyers aligned with litigants, broadcast media enjoying the ratings of controversy and of course, the family involved.The real-world victims-from the 1980s through the early 2000s-endured the same torments; the prospects of indefinite life support, health and estate rights publicly argued on courthouse steps and the humiliating invasion of privacy while lives were being decided in courtrooms.This novel revisits those days when right-to-life and right-to-die advocates waged media wars. It is an inside look at medical health when the rights of the comatose victims were a fledgling area of law. Each time in the end, after the judiciary-imposed decisions and the glare of media went dark, the public moved on to the next controversy. What was left were ruined families struggling with what many had characterized as the "convenience of death."But more than just that, this novel takes us inside the patient's mind-before medical science realized such victims were silent prisoners inside bodies defying outward indication of awareness. If it were you, what would you be thinking? Would you hope for the nearly impossible-however unlikely-or wish to die with dignity? What would your family do? Who would speak for you? In this probing and profound exploration of private torment in the midst of a public storm, we are left with little room for comfortable or unbiased opinion. Every once in a while, fiction transcends boundaries and speaks to us so fundamentally that we change our perceptions and sometimes, our lives.Author J. Ron Richard's When Death Becomes Convenient speaks to us in just such a way.
