Christian ethical response to end-of-life care : an indigenous communitarian health care approach / O. James Kithan.

"This book is a welcome contribution to the research area of the ethics of health care in general and indigenous health care practices in particular. It certainly raises critical questions on the prevailing health care conditions as regards End of Life issues in India and part of Northeast, especially in the Lotha Naga community. It exposes the poor health care infrastructure in the country, on the one hand, and formulates an indigenous response to the failure of health care practices, on the other. The book engages in conversations with dominant Christian Ethics and provides critique from an indigenous perspective, as it systematically unearths moral gaps in dominant Christian/Secular health care ethics. The book further explicates appropriation of Lotha Naga Indigenous theology and ethics from a senior people's perspective"--From publisher.
