Abstract
"On February 24-27, 1999, the 5th General Assembly of the “Pontificia Academia pro Vita” was held in the Vatican. During this session, we have reflected on the theme of the “Dignity of the Dying Person.” We were aided in this task by a group of experts from various nations who represented diverse disciplines (biology, psychology, medicine, philosophy, theology, jurisprudence, and others). They presented the results of their studies, carried out during a year of research, through a special “task force” instituted for this purpose."
