Riassunto:

Originally published as a doctoral dissertation, Daniel A. Cronin&;s survey of moral theology on the topic of ordinary and extraordinary means remains the standard reference work on this critically important distinction for end-of-life decision-making. Cronin examines the major authors from the Catholic historical tradition on this important distinction, showing how the difference between &;ordinary&; and &;extraordinary&; has developed with the progress of medical science. Continuously cited since its first publication, this revised edition brings the classic text back into print.
