Originally published as a doctoral dissertation, Bishop Daniel Cronin’s survey of the
great authors in moral theology on the topic of ordinary and extraordinary means
remains the standard reference work on this critically important distinction for end-of life decision-making. Continuously cited since its original publication, this revised
edition brings the classic text back into print after ten years of absence. Cronin examines all of the major authors from the Catholic historical tradition on this important distinction, showing how the difference between ordinary and extraordinary has developed and changed over the years with the progress of medical science. Issued on the fiftieth anniversary of its original publication, the work will remain a vital reference work for many decades to come.
