Euthanasia
Euthanasia is the practice of painlessly putting to death
persons who have incurable, painful, or distressing diseases or
handicaps. It come from the Greek words for 'good' and 'death', and is
commonly called mercy killing.
REASONS FOR
People have a right to decide when they want to die.
Wrong to keep people alive beyond their natural life span (e.g. life support machine).
Gives people the ability to die with dignity.
Relatives spared the agony of watching their loved ones suffer a slow and painful death.
Jesus said - 'Do unto others as you would have them do to you'. If you were suffering you may want your life to end.
REASONS AGAINST
People might commit euthanasia against a person's wishes.
People might recover from an illness against all odds. Doctor's diagnosis might be wrong.
Christians believe in the Sanctity of Life.
Against Commandment 'Do not kill'.
Jesus suffered on the cross - he didn't cut short his suffering therefore not down to us to end our life.

Legality of Euthanasia throughout the world
Euthanasia machine invented by Dr. Philip Nitschke...Doctors are against euthanasia it is their job to try and save & protect life.
Some people think accepting suffering may have a spiritual value for your soul.
Jesus cared for the sick, he never talks about any type of euthanasia
Christians have Hospices - hospitals where the terminally ill are cared for, without losing their dignity
My View on euthanasia although I did my project for it to be legalized I think it should be illegal cause of the power it hands over to doctors. Once Doctors get power like that the hospitals would become corrupt and unjust.
