Once they make euthanasia legal the next step is to get rid of the sick, the so-called incurables. Then comes getting rid of the elderly. I remember a conversation I had with a person who claimed to be a Christian. He said: Perhaps it's right, these incurably sick people just cost the state money, they are just a burden to themselves and to others. Isn't it best for all concerned if they are taken out of society?
And who could forget Murad Jacob "Jack" Kevorkian an American pathologist and euthanasia proponent. He publicly championed a terminal patient's right to die by physician-assisted suicide, embodied in his quote, "Dying is not a crime". Kevorkian said that he assisted at least 130 patients to that end.
First first you get society to accept euthanasia of terminally ill people the next step is the government choosing who do you euthanize. Maybe people over 65.
Christians base our beliefs on the Bible, where, we believe, we can find God’s teachings for all people of all cultures and all times. In the Old Testament these words powerfully establish the key ideas…
‘God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness.”’ – Genesis 1:26
‘You shall not kill’ (one of the Ten Commandments) – Exodus 20:13
‘The life of every creature and breath of all people are in God’s hand’ – Job 12:10
In the New Testament, the importance of human life is seen, for example, in these words…
‘Look at the birds of the air… are you not more valuable than they?’ – Matthew 6:26
‘Even the very hairs of your head are numbered’ (by God, that is) – Matthew 10:30
Jesus cared for people who had a poor quality of life and for those who were regarded as outcasts in his society. Each person mattered to him. He healed the leper and restored eyesight to the blind.
