I used to be a Christian and I still think that euthanasia isn't bad. People who've have termal cancer and it's not going to get better, I believe should have help with it. I believe that it should be legal. Unfortunately there would be people who would abuse it. Also, I don't think animals should suffer. My mother is a Christian and she has the same views on this as I do. It's cruel to watch people/animals suffer when they would be much better off and in less pain if they were euthanasia.

∙ 13y agoWell as a Christian, I believe that euthanasia is wrong and is just an easy way out of solving a problem. People have been created in God's image. (God says so in Genesis. Huamns are the only thing that God created in His image.) Therefore we are very special. We have worth. Killing people is killing people, regardless of whether they are useful to society or not, and The Bible is very clear that murder is wrong.

∙ 12y agoin the catechism it does bring up the topic of euthanasia, but will say it is wrong depending on intention and the situation basically. euthanasia is mainly thought of killing a person when they still have the opportunity to live, and so that's why it would be thought of as wrong. but if it were intentionally done for the better of the person and done because the person was incurable and was suffering, and done with the consent of the patient then it would be a different story.
Christians themselves, the individuals of the faith, may very well have different opinions on whether euthanasia is morally right or not. ~rainingcoconuts
