Please do everything to save his life It is always heard at any place where care is given, although it is not said in each and every situation. Nowadays, the doctor's decision about his or her patients has become a dilemma. Is it the doctor's duty to relieve pain and suffering even by taking the patient's life? Or should she or he respect human life and stand back, waiting for the nature to take its course? Some people argue that in certain circumstances killing someone to relieve his or her suffering should be considered as a mercy killing, while others believe that letting someone die naturally is a matter of respecting human life. This book presents a simplistic way of thinking in a very complicated debate. It is about euthanasia, a topic which has been generally ignored and, unfortunately, in many countries has been misused or neglected. In fact, this book will show the exact meaning of the term "mercy killing" and the various types that exist. It will also describe the attitudes of many countries and the beliefs of different religions, as well as medical and social views about euthanasia.

I was disappointed in this book. There is so little in it, written in very large type, that it could have been a pamphlet and not cost $11.35 a copy. All it gives the reader is a common vocabulary for passive and active suicide; and voluntary, involuntary, and non-voluntary assisted suicide. I bought copies to teach a 4-week class, and it turned out to be a 40 minute read. Don't waste your money on this one. I was really sorry I has ordered a set. It did not provide any information that could not have been gotten at any site of this topic on the internet. I felt ripped-off.
Thought provoking. This short book gave insight to both sides of the argument. It was interesting to see the different views of different countries and religions.
