Only God has the right to determine when a life should end.The Catholic Church opposes euthanasia because of it's belief in each person's basic human dignity. The Church believes that every life, even one of pain and suffering, has worth.

Martin Luther.Catholic AnswerI hate to disagree but nobody broke away from the Catholic Church AND thought that Church teachings should be more accessible to the people. People who broke away from the Church did so because they disagree with and couldn't live according to Church teachings, NOT because they thought they should be more accessible. Martin Luther is a prime example of someone who broke away from the Catholic Church precisely BECAUSE he couldn't live with Church teachings and failed to try.
They worried because Catholics really favored to the human rights.The church forbid Euthanasia,Abortion and death penalty.
They're not for it and generally believe that by allowing someone to die and escape further misery and pain we are playing god even though keeping them alive with medical intervention when they are dying could also be considered playing god. Some believe that God chooses when you die as god knows when you've learnt your message. Why would a kind god want anyone to suffer unnecessarily though? Medical intervention is not required... A patient can refuse treatment even if it means they will die.
