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.

Roman Catholic AnswerEuthanasia (easy death) is not covered in the older moral theology handbooks, it is a very recent introduction by the evil one to murder those who are sick or in pain under the term "mercy killing". It is never morally acceptable whatever its motives and means. See paragraphs 2276 through 2279 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.Wiki User
∙ 10y agoThe Catholic view on Euthanasia (attached at the link below) is that it is always a serious sin. There are nearly 40,000 different protestant denominations, everyone of them separated form the others by a difference in belief over something. I should think that you would be hard pressed to come up with a "protestant view about euthanasia".
