Popping the Metaphysical Myth

Beschreibung

This book is a must read in any course of study treating the morality of suicide, physician assisted suicide, and euthanasia. Assuming an agnostic stance regarding the existence of God and an afterlife, Dr. Skalko argues convincingly that it is more probable that suicide is not a rational response to severe human suffering. Contra the popular quality of life model of medical ethics, Dr. Skalko also shows that suffering isn’t the greater or greatest evil in the debate. –Daniel C. Wagner, PhD, Associate Professor & Chair of Philosophy, Aquinas College
