Chay -- Charles Ballard -- Gary P. Weeden -- Timothy C. Tatum -- Joni Eareckson Tada -- Stan R. Kellner -- John D. Hannah.
The questions raised in this volume are not simple, yet they are crucial to the future of our society. As author and advocate for the handicapped, Joni Eareckson Tada observes that there is a discernible disintegration of a "helping" society already taking place: "Euthanasia is now seen as a cure-all to societal problems such as rising public health-care costs and limited facility space for elderly and debilitated people. It's easier to kill than cure, or even care. Society is now assigning no positive value to suffering and is becoming more oriented toward a culture of comfort."
