    About this ebook

    A Good Way to Go considering self-determination, mercy & self-termination.
    tackles the difficult subjects of living, dying, suicide and
    euthanasia but concentrates on the care that can be given.
    The book is aimed at the general public not so much to be authoritative as
    provide original thoughts, and comprehensive enough to provide helpful
    material, to stimulate discussions, and provide an overview that might facilitate
    wholesome changes in our society. It is said to be well written and
    raising new and interesting points.
    The plea for a more merciful society begins with pastoral help to the dying,
    a better understanding of suicide, acceptance of self-termination, a look at
    ethics, health services and the law in regard to euthanasia.
    It is written from a Christian Western perspective because that is what has
    brought us to this place of confusion and anxiety about death and dying. It
    is important, that we take our bicultural and multicultural future very seriously
    in an ever increasing secular world and it would be audacious to
    speak on any other cultures behalf.
