Many in our society champion suicide, assisted suicide, and euthanasia as acceptable answers to intractable physical and emotional problems. There are alternatives to this contemporary "culture of death," however, that uphold the sanctity of human life and seek to meet the problems of fear, pain, and despair with compassion and dignity. Some questions answered in this work include:
- How do active and passive euthanasia differ?
- Do I have a "right to die"?
- Is suicide the unpardonable sin?
- Why hasn't Dr. Kevorkian been convicted of a crime?
- What should I do if I feel suicidal?
