Euthanasia literally means good death. It is also called mercy killing. In the Netherlands where euthanasia has been practiced for years, it is called deliverance. It is advocated by Dr. Kevorkian (Dr. Death) and the Hemlock Society. Recently Oregon passed the first measure in the history of the U.S. to legalize euthanasia (although it has had trouble in the courts). The Bible clearly teaches against the practice of euthanasia.
We are to march in the army of the Lord. But the devil wants us to dance. There is a difference. Alan Ives shows how you can tell the difference.
Is mercy killing or euthanasia acceptable to God? Should we put to death those who are suffering with a terrible disease?
