Whose Life Is It Anyway? by Brian Clark is a powerful and thought-provoking play that dives deep into the ethical questions around autonomy, the right to choose, and personal freedom. The story centers on Ken Harrison, a talented sculptor who becomes paralyzed after a car accident. His journey to reclaim control over his life, despite the medical professionals' insistence to keep him alive, makes for a moving and challenging read. Clark’s ability to craft a narrative that is both humorous and heart-wrenching keeps you fully invested in Ken’s struggle.
For anyone interested in dramatic works that explore human rights and medical ethics, this play is a must-read. I’d also like to note, if you’re considering Heinemann’s other titles, it’s helpful to check in with heinemann customer service if you have any questions about their offerings or policies.
