if christians really think people go to heaven when they have completed a moral life, why are they so against euthanasia? or abortion? if a fetus is already a human life, then it goes to heaven (best place ever) and avoids a world full of sin and suffering.
isn't that the BEST CASE SCENARIO? wouldn't you all want to go straight to heaven without having to suffer? why cling to life so desperately, if you're about to go to nirvana?
if you really REALLY believed in heaven, you'd embrace death, wouldn't you?

yeah christians do believe in heaven along with other religions, but these religions all are against euthanasia/abortion because...yes, the fetus is already a human life n therefore WHY kill this life??? who are we 2 play God?? it will just mean MAJOR sins for those who do abortions, n i'm sure nobody wants that.
Every human life deserves a chance 2 live...and about the part "a world full of sin and suffering", yep everyone has committed sins & suffered somewhere in there life, some more than others...but life is a test, so people should believe in heaven, but believing in heaven does not mean people should really embrace death...what with all the sins? but instead people should seek forgivness and change their ways etc in order to go to Heaven...anyway hope this clarifies your question.

If an embryo is a human life than it must feel some pain right? Most Christians are thinking of everyone involved. No pain for the baby at any age, no Hell for the mother who just went against the Ten Commandments and killed. I'm a little on both sides of the issue of Euthanasia because I've seen so many people suffer with cancer. On one hand, shouldn't they be able to decide when to end the suffering? On the other, that is suicide, which also is against Gods law.

Because euthanasia and abortion is considered murder. You don't think about Heaven when this is done you think about the here and now. Unborn babies are still alive so you should let them live a natural life and die naturally as God would have it. It may seem like the "best case scenerio" to kill them before they even know of sin and suffering but why kill a baby who has no choice about whether it wants to live or not? This is really a matter to be talked about on moral ground. A baby should hav a right to live just as anybody else. It does not matter that the world is full of suffering and sin they can still have a chance to know God and live a life that He would have it.

Let me ask you this, would you take a pile of money from an old woman just because you knew she couldn't chase you down and you were the only one that knew about it? In other words, you wouldn't get caught. That may be too deep or over your head. Humans don't decide when they have completed a moral life. Yes, I am ready to go when I'm called to go home to see my heavenly father but while I'm waiting I try my best to make the most of the life I was given here. I don't desperately cling to life, I just really love my life and my family and I'm sure I'll never find a time when I would want to say Good bye for a while. I don't want to suffer but I'm ready to take on whatever life brings me and when It's my time to go, I will be OK with that. He's there when you're born and He will be there when you die.

You're over-simplifying the issue. Assuming Christian beliefs (which you're doing here), then each person has a role in God's plan for the world, for each individual, and for each person that individual comes in contact with. By supporting euthanasia or abortion, we would be saying that we know God's plan for this person, or that God's plan is irrelevant.
Similarly, I don't believe that humans should have the power--because we certainly don't have the wisdom--to decide who lives or dies.
Your argument could be taken to the extreme: if we really believed in Heaven and that Heaven is The Place to Be, then we'd support murder. Mass murder. Heck, we'd go around killing everyone we thought would get to Heaven when we died.
But who are we to make this determination?

Not every person has a heavenly future.
(Revelation 20:4) And I saw thrones, and there were those who sat down on them, and power of judging was given them. Yes, I saw the souls of those executed with the ax for the witness they bore to Jesus and for speaking about God, and those who had worshiped neither the wild beast nor its image and who had not received the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand. And they came to life and ruled as kings with the Christ for a thousand years.
(Revelation 20:6) Happy and holy is anyone having part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will rule as kings with him for the thousand years.
These ones have a very special 'job' to do in heaven.
And the number is specific. It is a small number out of all the people who have ever lived.
(Revelation 7:4) And I heard the number of those who were sealed, a hundred and forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel:
What about all the rest?
(Revelation 7:9) After these things I saw, and, look! a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes; and there were palm branches in their hands.
...that no man was able to number... a complete contrast.\
Jesus mentioned his 'sheep'...a little flock and the 'sheep'
that obey his voice. Two distinct groups.,
The first will be taken to heaven at death and have a spiritual existence.
The others who are approved of have an earthly future, without death.
(Psalm 37:34) Hope in Jehovah and keep his way, And he will exalt you to take possession of the earth. When the wicked ones are cut off, you will see [it].
(Revelation 21:4) And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

Everyone has doubts about heaven. I agree with euthanasia if the person is in too much pain... and abortion if the baby faces extreme health disorders that would cause suffereing, only within the first 6th months.

I see where your logic is..but your putting it more as suicide.
Euthanasia is really when somebody is realing failing to an incurable disease and they cant fight anymore. So they personally decide that they want to end all the suffering.
The reasons pro-lifers dont like it is because even if you are really sick, but arent dead yet, youre comitting suicide.
And yes, some people want to embrace death, but most want to live peacefully on earth first, helping all they can on earth.
Personall, as a soon to be doctor, euthanasia goes against my practice of never killing anybdy-doctors are taught not to kill.

No not true. GOD wants you to have a wonderful life here as well, but most people, even the Christians, refuse to walk like Christ. And you do not go to Heaven by living a moral(as if man could) life, it is through the grace of GOD through Christ that we are able to go to Heaven. Praise the LORD.

No. Not every Christian religion teaches those ideas. In fact it is not even based in Christianity. It is the idea that came from Plato. Christians adapted a lot of pagan and non-Christian beliefs and the belief that people go to heaven or hell is one of them. I'm a Christian but I do not think people go to heaven or hell when they die. I think when you die, you just die and that is it. No heaven or hell. It is wrong to murder babies who didn't even get a chance at life. It is wrong to murder period. People will die when they die.
You have to go back and read the Bible in the original Greek. Most of what Christian churches teach today is NOT Christian at all.
