Media Reviews
'Both believers and non-believers will benefit greatly from this consistently reasonable and compassionate account of the euthanasia debate.' Mary Warnock, philosopher 'Badham takes a specifically Christian approach and gives not an apologetic, but a constructive answer. I hope that this book will be intensively and honestly discussed.' Hans Kung, Emeritus Professor of Ecumenical Theology, University of Tubingen 'Although I do not agree with Professor Badham's conclusion... His book is a serious and important contribution to a serious and important debate.' The Revd Dr John Polkinghorne, KBE, FRS 'The book is a triumph for liberal, relevant, compassionate, readable theology.' Adrian Thatcher, Research Professor in Applied Theology, University of Exeter
