Description
Dying to Kill: A Christian Perspective on Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide by Kieran Beville explores the complex and emotive issues surrounding euthanasia and assisted suicide. This comprehensive study examines the historical debate, legal status in different countries, and the political, medical, and moral aspects of these topics in various cultural contexts. The book profiles key advocates and pioneers of the movement, while also highlighting the vulnerable groups that are increasingly at risk, such as the elderly, disabled, and those struggling with depression or feeling hopeless. Beville argues that a biblical view of human life is essential in evaluating these issues and preserving the vital role of physicians as healers in society. This book provides an ethical framework for understanding euthanasia and assisted suicide, and offers a Christian perspective on these contentious topics.
