When Is It Right to Die?
Details
More and more people who are terminally ill are choosing assisted suicide. When is it Right to Die? offers a different path with alternatives of hope, compassion, and death with real dignity. Joni Eareckson Tada knows what it means to wrestle with this issue and to wish for a painless solution. For the last 50 years she has been confined to a wheelchair and struggled against her own paralysis. And she sat by the bedside of her dying father, thinking, So much suffering, why not end it all quickly, painlessly?
The terminally ill, the elderly, the disabled, the depressed and suicidal, can all be swept up into this movement of self-deliverance. Skip the suffering. Put a quick end to merciless pain and mental anguish. These are tempting enticements to the hurting. Joni doesn’t give pat answers. Instead, she gives warm comfort from God and practical help to meet the realities for those facing death.
This book is revised and updated to examine the current events, trending issues, and the rising acceptance of assisted suicide.

I am only on Chapter 5 but so far it is an excellent read. All of us will die eventually. Are we such a perfect society that the only ones that have a right to live are the perfect humans with no deficits at all? Why would anyone encourage anyone else to die? We should be caring and compassionate and encouraging. We learn so much when we care for those that are not as healthy or able as we are.
