in the bible or any other religious thing does it have any thing against euthanasia?

Question

i need evidence that its against religions

Answer 1

That depends on what type of euthanasia you mean. Euthanasia can be defined as a mercy killing, or removing life support. Most religions consider killing someone for any reason to be a sin, and scripture supports this view. However, removing life support is viewed differently by different religions. Since there was no means of life support when the Bible was written, it’s not a subject that can be reinforced either way by scripture. It just depends on what religion you choose to believe.

Answer 2

Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide .The Assemblies of God condemns as immoral the killing of the weak, the physically challenged, the mentally ill, or the aged, whether by a deliberate act or by coercing or assisting a person to commit suicide.4 God is both the giver of life and the arbiter of life. Fully informed and freely chosen suicide is the final usurpation of the divine prerogative. Humans are not empowered to take their own lives or the lives of others.5 The sick and the weak must not be made to feel that they are a burden and have a moral obligation to relieve society of that burden. Their depression and illnesses often bring severe emotional and physical pain and raise serious questions about their ability to freely choose suicide. It should be remembered that many suicides occur in times of deep depression and great physical pain, when personal judgment and responsibility are seriously impaired. The Assemblies of God does not assume that all such persons are eternally lost.

Families facing the impending death of a loved one and the frequent question of mechanical life support are encouraged to carry out the wishes of their loved one. However, in the absence of such knowledge, believers are encouraged to consider the guidance of Christian medical professionals and godly leaders, and prayerfully seek the wisdom of the Holy Spirit for a decision that will leave them with a clear conscience. The Assemblies of God respects the conscience of individual believers in these circumstances but does not find a biblical mandate for indefinite and artificial perpetuation of life in cases of persistent vegetative state or the prolonged cessation of biological function. In the providence of God, there is a time to release persons to go to Him.

Answer 3

How about "Thou shalt not kill," for starters? Euthanasia is murder with good intentions and a bit of cowardice thrown in. If you felt strongly enough that euthanasia was the right thing for a loved one, for instance, wouldn't it follow that it should be worth the murder or manslaughter conviction?

Answer 4

I don't think that religious people should just shout out "God said thou shalt not kill, so euthanasia is wrong."

Read your bible, or Torah or Koran; God is one of your leading causes of death. How many wars have been fought "in the name of God." Kind of hard to have a war in Gods name but expect that you won't kill somebody.

What about killing for self-defense. There is nothing in the bible that suggest that it is okay to kill someone who is about to kill you, but we all make the assumption that God would understand that. Why? God said "Thou shalt not kill." God did not say "Thou shalt not kill except in times of war, or in self defense."

No, we as reasonable people interpret what these sayings mean, and it can go either way as to whether God wants people to suffer or not, and anyone who tries to make it seem clear cut is just has a close mind.

Answer 5

Thou shalt not kill. There is nothing in the Bible that says it's ever ok or even hints it's ok to end someones life. If someone comes up with anything they are twisting the text to fit their own agenda.

Answer 6

Not specifically, but that doesn't stop people from finding some passage they can claim supports whatever it is they want.

Answer 7

It is playing God. Nuff said.

Answer 8

Thou shalt not commit murder.
