Pastoral accompaniment of people wishing to die
Many people today wish for a "self-determined death" and a "dignified dying". However, they wonder if this wish justifies ending their life prematurely. It is also conflictual and burdensome for all involved when someone wishes to end their life and asks others for help. Additionally, it raises the question of whether assistance for suicide should be provided. How can respectful and empathetic pastoral accompaniment be provided for people with such a wish? What remains important for a Christian-inspired culture of dying that is supported by a positive attitude towards life?
