by John Wyatt (Author)
John Wyatt helps us to navigate the arguments for assisted dying with hearts and heads engaged, and above all with our Bibles open.
Recognizing the uncomfortable feelings of frailty, fear and vulnerability that discussions of assisted suicide and euthanasia often raise, Professor Wyatt thoughtfully navigates this highly sensitive, emotive and complex issue.Through his assessment of the historical context, current political debate and euthanasia practices in other countries, Professor Wyatt provides a helpful resource with which to understand this issue within the Christian narrative of upholding, protecting and cherishing the inherent value and dignity of every individual.
