For unbearable physical pain with little chance of relief?
I say yes. I am Catholic, but I’ve seen enough suffering not to reject the entire notion.

There’s no reason today for anyone to have unrelieved pain even if in the dying process. If they are it’s because of poorly managed pain relief....when a person is in severe pain, there’s no reason to withhold powerful painkillers.

So whatever happened to the Catholic notion of offering up your suffering to God?

And besides, if the person goes to hell, are they really being done a favor?
