Suicide and Euthanasia, Are They Ever Right? Stewart, Gary P. et al. Suicide and Euthanasia: Are They Ever Right? Grand Rapids: Kregel Publications, 1998.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. This eighty page booklet presents definition of terms, theological issues, legal questions, medical concerns, and personal relationship matters. It offers brief but informative answers to forty basic questions on these issues. It is published as part of the BioBasics Series of The Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity, Bannockburn, Illinois.
