Euthanasia

What do you think of euthanasia? First of all, let me define euthanasia. It is the act of ending a life due to an incurable disease or if the patient is terminally ill. In other words, euthanasia is physician-assisted death. It is not legal in Malaysia, however don't be surprised that it is legal in some countries such as Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. Netherlands was the first country that legalized euthanasia in 2002. In Asian countries, most people are against euthanasia. So are you for or against euthanasia?

I am against euthanasia because human life is precious. Can you buy human life with money? No. Unless you're a horrible kidnapper that loves selling people. I like this statement by Tharmaseelan:


"I personally feel nobody has a right to take a life when he cannot create one. Miracles do happen, what may be considered incurable today may become curable in the near of distant future. We should realize that medical science is still an imperfect and incomplete science."

Do you understand? We, human beings do not have the right to take away life that is so precious and is given by God. Only God can create life, so He is the One who decides when the person must go. Here is the most famous bible verse for those everyone including those living and those who are dying:

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16


Trust Jesus, because He has died for us and saved us from our sins. If you believe in Him, then you will be saved. You body may die, but your soul will be saved. You will live with Him in Heaven. Forever. And that's eternal life.
