I can relate, but I cannot approve.

After regarding your post #22 for a while, it seems to me that you can relate to an issue that suggests "mercy" killing as a solution, but that you cannot approve of legalizing euthanasia such that it would expose the entire population to possible misapplication, whether the targetted person wished it or not.

Is that essentially correct?

Thanks --

Not quite.

I can relate to the suffering, diseased person that could very well be me one day who would want out of the pain, “wasted” money and resources etc., or the family members who watch their loved ones suffer, but as a Christian I cannot see taking God’s place as the one who calls it time to die.

You are right to suggest that possible misapplication would be a problem, not just possibly, or even probably. It WILL happen.
