The author writes: For many years my mother suffered from progressive dementia and carried the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. She lived well into her 90s and spent the last years of her life in a nursing home. Eventually she lost all cognitive brain function, failing to recognize members of her immediate family. A few weeks before her death she suffered a stroke which left her unconscious - she could not take oral nourishment and required an IV for fluid replacement. No one suggested that we insert a stomach tube for the delivery of nourishment. As far as we could tell she was comfortable and free of pain. With the support of the nursing home staff, we made the emotive decision to stop all nutrition and fluid therapy. My mother died quietly in five days. No one will ever know what she died of - her debilitating disease complicated by a stroke or the withdrawal of food and water or a combination of both. For the purposes of our current study I feel compelled to raise the question: What was the manner of her death? Natural causes, involuntary euthanasia, or unknown? Was it a compassionate thing to do? Was it a violation of the sixth commandment? Was it the Christian thing to do? This book presents relevant arguments for and against the controversial issue of “unassisted suicide” and “assisted death” that may be considered because of extreme suffering at the end of a Christian’s life. 50
