A well-informed presentation of the case against assisted suicide,
with reference to politics, society and medicine. This book
addresses the the foundational imperative that cherishes life under
all circumstances. This is about the choice of the kind of world we
want to live in - a Christian heritage which is likely to be
squandered. George Pitcher reaffirms the view that death is part of
life: there is a long tradition of the acceptance of suffering. By
contrast, the modern alternative - right to die becomes duty to die
- looks utilitarian, the culling of the weak. There are worrying
implications for the provision of care. We are being asked to
consider the economics of suicide. Despite recent advances in
palliative care there is a sad lack of investment, made worse by
this callous approach. In Oregon and Holland, where euthanasia is
licensed, there has been a marked fall in palliative care. George
Pitcher concludes with a strong celebration of life, in which death
plays its part. He argues that this approach empowers medical staff
and leads to the regeneration of pastoral care.
