In this brief but informative work, author Michael Manning describes the historical background and conceptual framework within which the current debate over euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide is taking place. While the Roman Catholic position is explored in some detail, the book also addresses the arguments stemming from both philosophical and medical considerations. Fr. Michael Manning is a board-certified internist and gastroenterologist and associate pastor of St. Gregory the Great parish in Trenton, NJ.
