Is Assisted Suicide Ever Right?

A Concise Christian Response to Assisted SuicideAssisted suicide is on the rise. In some countries, it has become a legal option for those with a terminal diagnosis and individuals who seek to escape depression, poverty, and loneliness. Western culture has recast elective death as a clinical, compassionate good. How should we, as Christians, evaluate this alarming trend? In this brief booklet, Andrew Spencer offers a biblical response to assisted suicide by addressing key moral questions about human dignity, suffering, the image of God, and his purpose for our lives. Combining scriptural reasoning and pastoral sensitivity, Spencer helps believers discern what is morally good, equips Christian leaders to discuss the topic thoughtfully, and points non-Christians to the hope found in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
