Euthanasia continued....
A BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE
Holy Scripture does not address the subject of euthanasia
directly, as it does not seem to have been an issue in those days; but it does
give principles for our guidance. For instance, mankind was created in the
image of God, so this gives human life a dignity and sanctity that we must
acknowledge. In the New Testament book of James, we are even forbidden to curse
our fellow men because they are made in the similitude of God. Cursing would be
an affront to their dignity. Many countries agree with the Judaeo/Christian
life-values.
