Abstract:
Faith is the mainsail for the ship called "China Dream". A key to the fulfilment of the "China Dream" is the revival of Chinese Civilization.

And the emerging group of Chinese Christian entrepreneurs are an essential part of this class for China. The book provides an orientation and basics on Christian faith for Chinese Christian Entrepreneurs: on Jesus Christ, the Bible, basic doctrines, the Church, spirituality, Church history, denominations and twelve criteria for Christian business.

Abstract:

This position paper puts forward an ethical case for end-of-life decision-mak¬ing legislation. Such legislation would clarify areas of legal uncertainty, most notably in respect of terminal pain management, withholding and withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment (sometimes called "passive euthanasia"), and advance directives (a living will and a durable power of attorney for healthcare). More controversially, the paper also argues for the inclusion of assisted dying (assisted suicide and voluntary active euthanasia) in a comprehensive end-of-life decision-making bill.
