A while back I said I'd post a list of the books we were using to recource our upcoming Theological Reflection group looking at the complex issue of assisted dying.  There are two in favour and two against.  I'm glad I read those in favour, even though I disagree with their conclusions, because they forced me to examine other perspectives.  It is amazing how often it is useful to engage with views we disagree with, allowing ourselves to be open to what they say rtaher than dismissing them out of hand.  So, in case you would find them useful, here are the four books...

A Time to Live: The Case Against Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide, George Pitcher, Oxford, Monarch Books 2010 (against, obviously)

Dying with Dignity: A Personal Plea for Responsibility, Hans Kung and Walter Jens, New York Continuum, 1998 (A bit out of date now; in favour)

Is there a Christian Case for Assisted Dying, Paul Badham, London, SPCK, 2009 (in favour)

Euthanasia: A Christian Perspective, Church of Scotland Board of Social Responsibility, Edinburgh, St Andrew Press, 1997 (against)
