Right to die? (Paperback) by

The case for assisted suicide can seem so compelling. Surely it can’t be wrong to help desperate people to kill themselves? Don’t we have a right to take our own lives in certain circumstances?

There are no trite or easy answers. John Wyatt helps us to navigate the arguments with hearts and heads engaged, and above all with our Bibles open. There are practical and compassionate alternatives to assisted suicide, and as many who have gone before us have found, the end of our lives on this earth may turn out to be a strange and wonderful opportunity for growth and internal healing.
