The Church’s teaching on so-called ‘mercy killing’
In a society where Euthanasia is strongly supported by many and where supporters make appeals to Christian virtues such as mercy, compassion and love it is more important than ever for the Church's real teaching to be known. Is mercy killing ever right? This booklet explores the Catholic Churchs teaching on why Euthanasia is always wrong and explodes popular myths and misconceptions.
CTS Explanations is a series explaining in everyday language Catholic teaching on a range of current pressing moral and ethical issues. This booklet has been produced with the Linacre Centre, the leading Catholic centre for healthcare ethics in Great Britain and Ireland.
