Many Christians believe that a person's life is a gift from God, and therefore only God has the right to take life away from a person.

Therefore situations where human life is taken by a person and not in natural course by God; are not in keeping with Christian beliefs. These include situations like euthanasia, abortion, and the death penalty.

Why are Amish christians against euthanasia?

"Amish Christians" is a redundancy. To be Amish is to be a Christian. Euthanasia is a terrible thing to deal with. I was against euthanasia for my parents. One grandmother suffered terribly with colon cancer, and I felt like her doctor was prolonging her death, instead of prolonging her life. She remained lucid, though, and chose to kick and fight every inch of the way, as was her right. My grandfather on the other side of the family chose not to have chemotherapy or radiotherapy for his cancer of the jaw. (He chewed tobacco for many years.) He suffered for less than 24 hours at the end and lived alone, in his home, until the end. Many Christians, including many Amish, find euthanasia abhorrent. Many other Christians, including some Amish, find extreme measures repulsive. I wouldn't have "pulled the plug" on either of me parents, but the day will come soon when it's time for me to go - and I've told my family that when it's time, I don't want to stick around, a zombie attached to a nice piece of technology.
