As society faces the repercussions of assisted life and death, the news tells of legal battles over frozen embryos and doctors prosecuted after patients' suicide. Palmer argues society should not turn to law and science to determine such intimate matters as how our children are born and how we die.

Personnellement confronté au problème de la souffrance et de l'apparente absurdité de l'existence, l'auteur offre dans cet ouvrage le fruit d'une expérience et d'une réflexion personnelles. Il fait ressortir que l'existence humaine, même marquée par le handicap grave, la maladie mortelle, la souffrance et les altérations physiques et psychiques, n'est pas dépourvue de signification. Et si la clef de compréhension de toute l'existence humaine se trouvait précisément dans ces limites qui renvoient inéluctablement à la finitude de l'homme ? Cet ouvrage va à contre-courant d'une certaine mentalité moderne, en montrant que l'on peut être parfaitement tolérant en refusant l'euthanasie. Il fait ressortir que les soins palliatifs constituent une alternative crédible à cet acte, en proposant une autre vision de la médecine et de l'être humain, plus soucieuse de la personne soignée que de la technique ou de la recherche de réussite. C'est le seul ouvrage global en français sur le sujet : à la fois sur les aspects terminologiques, historiques, socio-médicaux, juridiques, philosophiques, anthropologiques, éthiques et théologiques. Malgré cette dimension globale, chaque champ constitue un dossier très approfondi et très documenté. Il est également le seul à tracer aussi complètement l'historique du terme " euthanasie " et des pratiques euthanasiques.

During the sixteenth and the seventeenth centuries the Mercedarian Order of friars, founded in the 1220s, underwent a period of reform from which it emerged utterly transformed. This study sets out to examine not only the context of that reform - the policies of the crown and the papacy, the condition of Catalonia and Spain at large, the circumstances prevailing within the Order and the dialogue with its past - but also to grasp the essence of monastic reform itself against this diverse background. The imposition of other than purely religious criteria onto the reform agenda alerts us to the deeper implications of monastic change in Early Modern Europe. For the Mercedarians the result by 1650 was a wholly new Order; the evolution of this process, by turns calculated and unexpected, is here explored.
