Death Education and Attitudes toward Euthanasia and Terminal Illness.
Nagi, Mostafa H.; Lazerine, Neil G.
Death Education, v6 n1 p1-15 Spr 1982
Analyzed attitudes of 614 Protestant and Catholic Cleveland clergy toward terminal illness and euthanasia. Clergy responses revealed that, although eager to prolong life, terminally ill patients feared prolonged illness more than death. The controversial nature of euthanasia became more apparent with clergy who had more training in death counseling. (Author)
