It is killing...and it is the willful governmental destruction of those who are not rich or powerful enough to defend themselves...bet you never hear of a rich old person being euthanized...no it will be the poor, and the working class who gave you what you have the luxury of having...life...and you repay them by deciding they are too much effort and cost. Bull. Sorry, but i get wound up. Love your neighbour as yourself. Put yourself last so that you can be first, and whatever you do to the least of my brothers you do to me....several biblical references in old and new testament.

Exodus 20:13
"Thou Shalt Not Kill".
Merrium-Webster's Dictionary of Law defines Euthanasia as:
the act or practice of killing or permitting the death of hopelessly sick or injured persons in a relatively painless way for reasons of mercy...
Using the LEGAL definition, euthanasia is killing. THe bible says do not kill.
Euthanasia is against the bible's teachings, therefore it is anti-biblical.

The truth is Exodus 20:13 says you shouldn't murder.

Those who oppose it believe it's like "playing God." I'm not extremely passionate on it either way, but I can see both sides. Either way, we must respect each other's opinions on this issue, and not jump to conclusions about their motives or reasons for believing what they do.

It is not only about killing, but playing God, either by the choice of the one who seeks it, or the one performing it.

I guess it probably has to do with that little issue of thou shall not kill.
