Over half of Americans believe euthanasia should be an option for the terminally ill. Canada legalized it a decade ago, and over one hundred thousand people have ended their own lives.
What does God’s Word say about this practice?
Well, euthanasia is really an attempt to “be as gods,” just like what Adam and Eve wanted. But we’re not God and we have no “right” to try and be gods.
The Bible makes it clear that taking an innocent life is murder. Euthanasia under the guise of compassion—it’s really murder.
Life is precious and a gift from God. Decisions of life and death belong to our all-knowing God—not humans.
