Notes the unrest surrounding questions related to the management of dying and identifies the varieties of modes of assisted suicides and euthanasia approaches. Points out the pros and cons of physician-assisted suicide and offers biblical and theological critiques of the perspectives and practices. Concludes that it is easier to embrace an idea in theory than to put it into practice but that, despite all the complications implicit in and resulting from physician-assisted suicide, the practice needs to be legalized and become part of the growing need to manage death in this technological age.
注意到围绕临终管理相关问题的动荡，并识别出辅助自杀和安乐死方法的各种模式。指出医生协助自杀的利弊，并对这些观点和做法进行圣经和神学批判。得出结论，在理论上接受一个想法比将其付诸实践更容易，但尽管医生协助自杀存在并引发了所有复杂问题，这种做法仍需合法化，并成为在这个技术时代日益增长的死亡管理需求的一部分。
