The choice of life

This publication offers a reflection on the phenomenon of euthanasia within the context of history, legislation, and contemporary society. Its intention is to present a theoretical perspective capable of opposing the reasons given by euthanasia proponents and to offer practical alternatives that are more feasible and humane than "escaping suffering through death".The main idea of this book can be summarized in the following sentence: the best medicine for patients in the terminal phase of the disease, always effective and permanently available, is a competent and caring presence enriched with the human warmth that only another person can provide.
