Are you for or against euthenasia?

Answer 1

At one time in my youth I was not against it.
I remember the Dr. Jack Kevorkian ("Dr. Death") days, where
the people suffering from painful terminal illnesses were seeking his "help", and it was all over the news.
I eventually saw some interview footage of some of the "patients" who sought him. It revealed their condition, along with the reaction of some of their understandibly emotionally yet collaborativee family members.

I thought: Yes:
They will be out of pain .......
It is their wish, and their right .......
Their familys are going through the torment with them ....
and it was being done out of mutual love and compassion.

Now, quite recently however, I am approaching many of these "heavy" ethical, moral, and religious issues in a new perspective. Continually, I am challenged in keeping this perspective. Attempting to educate, validate, and give credence to a truth is not easy. It requires putting much of my "worldly" conditioned, envoronmentally influenced, and ignorantly chosen secularistic views in the back seat.... and help from Jesus. On that note I will share what I have recently learned, and can't say I disagree with:

The Roman Catholic Policy: "Declaration on Euthanasia"

"When inevitable death is imminent... it is permitted in conscience to take the decision to refuse forms of treatment that would only secure a precarious and burdensome prolongation of life, so long as the normal care due to a sick person in similar cases is not interrupted."

The Declaration concludes that doctors, beyond providing medical skill, must above all provide patients "with the comfort of boundless kindness and heartfelt charity".

Answer 2

A human life is far above any animal life, because humans are created in the Image of God. Personally, I am against euthanasia because of the sacredness and sanctity of precious human life, we are not animals. We are to Love each other until we expire naturally by the Will of God. To kill someone is not Love or Mercy; it is murder and the depravity of Love; and a person authorizing one’s own death through euthanasia is the very act of suicide, putting one’s own will over the Will of the Father, and as a result the fate of their soul (spirit) is sealed with eternal damnation in what is called the horrid "Outer Darkness" devoid of the Presence and Light of God.
