Choosing Life: A Dialogue on Evangelium Vitae

Evangelium Vitae, or "The Gospel of Life," Pope John Paul II's 1995 encyclical, addresses practical and moral questions that touch on the sacredness of human life: abortion, euthanasia and assisted suicide, and capital punishment. In this book, scholars from a wide range of disciplines--law, medicine, philosophy, and theology--and from various religious perspectives discuss and interpret the Pope's teachings on these complex moral issues.
