Catholic Culture: The dissident theologian Hans Küng has revealed that he is considering assisted ѕυιcιdє.
Küng, who at the age of 85 is suffering from Parkinson’s disease, writes in a forthcoming memoir that he does not “want to live on as a shadow of myself.” Questioning whether he will be able to continue living with dignity, he writes: “A scholar who can no longer read and write—what’s next?”
Having argued that individuals have a right to choose death in the face of painful illness, he asks readers: “If I have to decide myself, please abide by my wish.”

The dissident theologian Hans Küng has revealed that he is considering assisted ѕυιcιdє.
Küng, who at the age of 85 is suffering from Parkinson’s disease, writes in a forthcoming memoir that he does not “want to live on as a shadow of myself.” Questioning whether he will be able to continue living with dignity, he writes: “A scholar who can no longer read and write—what’s next?”
Having argued that individuals have a right to choose death in the face of painful illness, he asks readers: “If I have to decide myself, please abide by my wish.”
A Swiss priest who served as a theological expert at Vatican II, Küng taught for years at the University of Tübingen in Germany. Because of his persistent criticism of Church teachings on a wide range of issues, in 1979 the Vatican decreed that Küng could no longer be considered a “Catholic” theologian. He has continued to press for change in the Catholic Church and has been a harsh critic of his former colleague, Pope Benedict XVI.
~ I wonder if he's such a harsh critic of Pope Francis? Maybe now
that the pope is someone he approves of, he will be willing to hang
around a bit longer to see how things develop now? I mean, why
not stick it out and have the chance to utter a few choice words
that might make the news or whatever? Isn't that what life is all
about for this guy, making headlines? It was for Cardfile Balony,
I mean Roger Ho-hoeny, sorry, Mahony.
