Abstract

The text is a review of two books. The first one, "La buena muerte; Dignidad humana, cuidados paliativos y eutanasia" (The Good Death; Human Dignity, Palliative Care, and Euthanasia), written by Pablo Requena Meana, addresses the debate on euthanasia and palliative care in the context of the recent Spanish law regulating euthanasia. The author reflects on the concepts of a good death, dignified death, assisted suicide, and euthanasia, and analyzes the importance of palliative care at the end of life. Topics such as human dignity and personal autonomy are also discussed. The second book, "A la luz del Evangelio. Textos breves para la meditación" (In the Light of the Gospel. Short Texts for Meditation), written by Fernando Ocáriz, compiles short texts that invite reflection and prayer based on quotes from the New Testament. The author seeks to bring readers closer to Jesus Christ through the reading of Sacred Scripture. [Extracted from the article]
