Synopsis

Are we ever justified in choosing to die by deliberate action? Is it ever right to aid those who request assistance in dying?

These questions are widely debated today, and in this book Cauthen sets forth the major arguments for and against physician-assisted death. Readers will find here all the essential information they need to approach this problem and form their own personal point of view.

Cauthen writes from a religious perspective and makes explicit the biblical and philosophical foundations for his thinking. He presents a cautious and reasoned case for changing the current law with respect to physician-assisted suicide and physician-administered death.

Kenneth Cauthen, Ph.D., is John Price Crozer Griffith Emeritus Professor of Theology, Colgate-Rochester Divinity School/Bexley Hall/Crozer Theological Seminary. A recognized authority in theology and ethics, his book The Many Faces Of Evil, which breaks new ground in exploring the torments and terrors of evil and suffering in this life, has become a standard resource in schools and for private study. Cauthen received his education from Mercer University (magna cum laude), Yale Divinity School (B.D.), Emory University (M.A.), and Vanderbilt University (Ph.D.).
