I’m living in a little independent-li- ving house with two other guys in wheelchairs. It’s a lot more enjoyable with a lot less pressure, less rigid. You can set your own schedule. As long as I’m not forced to live under the conditions of the state, then I consider life worth living.” Viktor Frankl, the author of Men’s Search for Meaning, a psychiatric and survivor of Auschwitz, comforted thousands in despair. In his words, “suffering can have meaning.” Joni E. Tada has done an exten- sive work of analysis to the multiple branches of this conundrum. This includes the differences between “ve- getative state” and the “minimally conscious state,” as well as what the Bible has to say about euthanasia and dying, and the Hippocratic Oath, along with the wise comments of Christian authors such as Eric Meta- xas and J. I. Packer. When Is It Right to Die is clearly an essential work to better understand this subject from a biblical point of view. Twice as Good! THE NEW ENGLISH VERSION NOW AVAILABLE! www.biblion.pt
