Dr. Paul Saba begins his story with the battle to save the life of his baby girl, Jessica, who was born with a severe congenital cardiac malformation. He describes the challenges of facing difficult diagnoses through both his personal experiences and those of his patients. This book debunks the myths of euthanasia and assisted suicide. Dr. Saba's battle has taken him to the Canadian courts, where he has been silenced from challenging Canada's euthanasia laws. He has been forbidden from utilizing the Canadian Constitution or presenting his arguments in court to oppose euthanasia and assisted suicide. Dr. Saba believes no one can know what the future holds. Hope and loving support can overcome many obstacles in life's journey. In the end, we are all "made to live," as his daughter Jessica inscribed on one of her paintings at seven years old.</p></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Dr. Paul Saba's journey for life should inspire everyone who reads his book and cause those who may be considering abortion, assisted suicide, or euthanasia to pause and reevaluate their decision. My personal experience has taught me that some of our decisions are life-changing and cannot be reversed. Dr. Paul Saba combines his professional insights with personal experience to shape a deep, principled defense of the most vulnerable members of our communities, each one unique and precious. This is a book that will impact me for years to come.<br>--Catherine Glenn Foster, M.A., J.D.<br>President & CEO, Americans United for Life</p></p> <p><i>Made to Live</i> penetrates through the haze of the hype and lays out the facts you need to know. Read this book in order to educate yourself about "Medical Aid in Dying" before it is presented as an option to you, your loved ones, or your friends. This is a riveting must-read that you won't be able to put down.<br>--David Stevens, MD, M.A. (Ethics)<br>CEO Emeritus, Christian Medical & Dental Associations </p></p> <p>Having lived in a wheelchair for more than fifty years, I personally understand the difficult challenges of living with a disability. I have spent the majority of my life educating policy makers and well-meaning physicians about the dangers of physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia. People with disabilities need advocates like Dr. Paul Saba, who personally knows that the hard choice to help someone live with disability is the right choice, no matter the cost to society or caregivers. <i>Made to Live: A Physician's Journey to Save Life</i> is an honest, heart-wrenching personal journey of a father and a physician proving that life is worth saving, and no one is "better off dead." <br>--Joni Eareckson Tada<br>Founder & CEO, Joni and Friends International Disability Center</p><p>Dr. Paul Saba is a Canadian colleague in search of the meaning of medicine, the meaning of life, and the nonsense of death. He stumbles against a society where selfishness has become the only accepted value under the banner of the right to individual self-determination.</p> <p>After the legalization of the right to forbid a baby's preborn right to life, it was to be expected that the policy would extend to the elimination of a person after birth. Although some doctors are complying with these laws, this is contrary to their code of medical ethics.</p> <p>In this context of physician collaborators who are acting against humanity, the work of Dr. Paul Saba shows tremendous courage, tenacity, and exceptional humanity.<br>--Georges Casteur, M.D.<br>Former Medical Superintendent, BZIO (Rehabilitation Hospital, Ostend, Belgium)<br>Past Chairman, Medical Board of West Flanders<p>Dr. Paul Saba's personal journey to save life demonstrates his caring heart not only for his family but all those around him in the world whom he considers part of his extended family. He recognizes assisted suicide and euthanasia are neither caring nor compassionate. <br>--Nancy Elliott<br>Euthanasia Prevention Coalition USA</p><br>
