Life's Living Toward Dying by Vigen Guroian
In the past several years our culture's long-standing prohibitions against suicide and euthanasia have been seriously challenged. A great tidal change in morality and law may be occurring as the courts seem to be creating a new right - the individual's right to die. In the fall of 1994 the people of Oregon voted to legalize physician-assisted suicide; Michigan's courts continue to acquit Dr. Jack Kevorkian for his involvement in the deaths of more than two dozen patients; and in several states federal appeals courts have struck down statutes that prohibited physician-assisted suicide. In Life's Living toward Dying Vigen Guroian responds to this challenge. He discusses society's moral confusion over the meaning of death and gives a Christian alternative for care of the dying that is consistent with the strong value that the Christian church has ascribed to human life.Professor of Theology at Loyola College in Baltimore, Maryland, Vigen Guroian He has also taught at the Ecumenical School of Theology in St. Louis. Baltimore's St. Mary's Roman Catholic Seminary. 'Incarnate Love: Studies on Orthodox Ethics' and 'Faith, Church, Mission: Essays for Renewal in the Armenian Church' are among Guroian's works.
