Why You Shouldn’t Kill Yourself

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Why You Shouldn't Kill Yourself, by Susan Windley-Daoust is a masterful resource that unmasks five tricks of the heart often used to promote assisted suicide as compassionate care for terminally ill persons. With a deep awareness of the power of secularization to shape moral thinking, attention is given to promoting true compassion by palliative care that can prevent unnecessary suffering, and promote relationship building, prayer, and renewed appreciation of natural death. This book is a must-read for those giving pastoral care to persons and families facing end-of-life issues.”
