Euthanasia: A Reference Handbook is a well
written book
by Jennifer Fecio McDougall and Martha Gorman.
The authors offer to the reader a myriad of issues to explore, whilst seeking an informed and a compassion circled truth search. The book clearly demonstrates a pressing issue with many complexities and possible implications of a legalized euthanasia and assisted suicide, versus the current illegal status which is prevalent in many states and countries. This book certainly stirs up mixed emotions in the reader, when weighing up all the pros and cons for or against the legalization of euthanasia and assisted suicide. If anything, one is still confused with own views.
A thought provoking volume, influencing the reader to examine own values and soul searching many aspects of one's psyche. The debate is ongoing and of great value. Reading this book will touch many of us, as we face our own mortality. The authors have succeed in pointing out the great importance of the discussions. Very interesting read...

The Moral Deliberations of 15 Clergy on Suicide and Assisted Death: A
Qualitative Study.
Given the relationship
between moral objections to suicide, physician-assisted suicide (PAS), and
euthanasia and religion, it is important to understand under what conditions
clergy have moral objections to suicide, ending futile medical treatment, PAS,
and euthanasia. This study used thematic analysis to explore the moral
deliberations of 15 clergy and the right- and wrong-making properties of nine
death and dying scenarios. Fifteen Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant clergy
completed semi-structured interviews. Data analysis generated eight themes:
sanctity of life, preservation of the natural course of life, pastoral care,
support of the faith community, referral to professional services, end-of-life
decision in community, consultation with medical professionals, and a shift to
a hopeful narrative. Respondents consistently endorsed the priority of pastoral
care, demonstrating a deep concern for the well-being of suffering congregants.
In conclusion, respondents were consistent in the application of eight themes
to end-of-life scenarios but differed in their approach to the removal of a
feeding tube and being present for a PAS death. Every respondent objected to
suicide.

Johannesburg
– A Johannesburg doctor wants the right to end her own life and that of a
patient because the symptoms of their respective illnesses are
"torture".
Dr Sue Walter, 43, and Dieter Harck, 68, jointly submitted an
application at the South Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg on Monday calling
for the legalisation of euthanasia for consenting patients, Netwerk24 reported.
Harck was
diagnosed with motor neuron disease in June 2013. Walter, who has a consulting
room at the Mediclinic in Morningside, is also terminally ill.
She was
diagnosed in February with multiple myeloma, a form cancer that affects the
plasma cells in bone marrow, and has been told she only has one or two years to
live.
