Do you remember Dr Krevorkian? I was in Pontiac within a couple hundred yards of Osteopathic Hospital where he was dropping off bodies after he offed the people who asked him to help them "out". Some of the people he offed were in better condition than some people I was friends with at the time, wheelchair bound and in constant pain facing death at young ages. The problem with allowing euthanasia is that family members and society sooner or later will force in on handicapped people who don't really want it. The lines become blurred........but hey, if God does not care, why not just go out as quickly and painlessly as possible? It's always wrong, suicide is murder of yourself. There is no such thing as good death, euthanasia is murder and if the one being put to death is agreeing to it, it's conspiracy to murder.

An old friend of mine, one of my few best friends, was told around nine months ago that he had stage four cancer which was causing tumors in his connective tissues all over his body. Because he was 80 yrs old, he decided not to take any treatments for it. He got around well and was in little or no pain up until the last month of the six he lived before succumbing. The tumors were in his lungs also, causing difficulty breathing and great difficulty in expelling fluids which built up from leaking around the tumors. I visited with him a day or two before the last day he was really communicating with people. His mind remained sharp, and he never lost sight of the hope he had in knowing he was going to be with the Lord in heaven.

He never complained. He only asked to set a good example of hope and confidence in his Savior, and he prayed that others would come to know the Savior due to the influence of the example he was setting. He considered it an honor to be afflicted with this very rare form of cancer, a 1 in 5000 case and he only wanted to show the grace of God which gives us power to endure suffering as Jesus suffered for us.

Euthanasia is wrong, suicide is always selfish and wrong.
