What is the meaning of 'euthanasia'?
Euthanasia means a gentle and easy death. There are 4 types of euthanasia: Assisted suicide- eg. Giving someone the drugs or gun to kill themselves but not actually killing the person yourself. Voluntary euthanasia- Helping kill someone who has asked you to kill them, it is only voluntary if you actually kill them, if they kill themselves it is assisted suicide. Non voluntary euthanasia- Where you kill the person when they haven't asked you to but you think it is right. eg. if the person is in a coma and might never wake up and the parent kill them. Passive euthanasia- where you stop giving the person treatment or food and water. Only if they have asked you to.
Why is euthanasia bad?
Euthanasia is only bad if you've been taught that it was bad. There is no logic to disapproval. Euthanasia is bad. Who is to decide who will die or not. God is the only person that has the right to take away or give life not a doctor. If some one is terminally ill and in pain then doctors help with the pain, when the time is right God will decide when the person's life comes to an end. If everyone decided to give in and die then where would the world be now in terms of medicine? Euthanasia is the easy way out and no one has the right to take their own life or others but God.

Euthanasia of humans, by choice of that person, is a far more controversial topic. Many people believe that they have the right to end their lives at peace and with dignity, whenever they choose. Many individuals feel that a person has the right to decide to die rather than linger, perhaps for years. In such circumstances, the person may feel a burden on their loved ones, and they are often in substantial pain. Others (right to life groups) claim that euthanasia is wrong. Some of these groups are religious and claim that since God bestows life, only God has the right to take it away.

This quote is used often in ethical discussions involving Christianity and religion. For example, in conversations about euthanasia (mercy killing), this quote can be used to demonstrate that euthanasia is not right in the eyes of the lord becuase it is he that decides when we die.
