Twenty leading experts in the bioethics debate here engage, from a Christian perspective, matters of dignity and dying. These essays discuss the experience of dying; examine the concepts of autonomy, death, suffering, and faithfulness; analyze four of the most pressing end-of-life challenges — forgoing treatment, medical futility, defining of death, and assisted suicide/euthanasia — and explore alternatives to the premature ending of life.

Not a Single Point of View,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dignity and Dying: A Christian Appraisal (Horizons in Bioethics Series) (Paperback)
This book is unusual. Containing 17 essays by different authors, it is not focused entirely on the aspects of death and religion.Instead it includes personal view points and experiences that provide multidimensional pictures of death, dying, faith, and humanity. This is not a technical manual or a religious manual. It is a very interesting helpful book that includes personal feelings and experiences to help clarify the topics presented.
