Every family must be prepared to address the following ethical issues with theological precision and practical wisdom: When does a person die? What if the idea of ''brain death'' is a misnomer? What does the Bible have to say about the body, mind, and spirit? What if the doctors tell you that your loved one is in a permanent vegetative state and that it is merciful to withhold food and water from him? What are the duties of children to their aging parents? How do we approach the really tough issues, like assisted living, dementia, and more? What will you say when a physician tells you: ''It's no longer worth the effort?'' What will you say when family members seek to pressure you to ''pull the plug'' on Dad? These and other thorny ethical issues are examined in this important symposium featuring Doug Phillips, Dr. Mo Gill, Dr. Ed Payne, Dan Becker, and Jay Valenti.
