The rules are simple:
1. Life begins at conception. It’s a living human at that moment- NO arguments.
2. During life, the time to die is when God says so, and only then. No, it doesn’t matter if you’re in pain or apparently non-functional. The Lord may yet have a use for you (even though this may not be immediately..or EVER..apparent), so until He says so, don’t try to end your life...OR others.
3. In your twilight years, do not try to end your life if you’re sick of living or feel useless. Ask God to give you strength and what He wants. He can make your life fulfilling right to your last breath.
You've never really seen someone die slow and in agony, have you?
Do you have a verse from the Bible to back that up?
How I live or die is none of your concern. Butt out. My life and death belong to me and my personal walk with God. You are not my Holy Spirit. It's of no concern to you, the state, the church, the courts or anyone else.
Do you feel that it is similarly immoral to intercede medically to extend the life of someone who is dying with antibiotics, ventilators, etc...? After all, if God has set our number of days, perhaps extending them becomes immoral. Because the flip side of the moral argument you are making seems to be the theology of extremist Christian Science. That is, that prayer is the appropriate substitution for medical care.
Is passive euthanasia acceptable to you? For example, if I leave a medical do not resuscitate in the event of heart attack directive, is that suicide?
Anyway, I reject your ‘rules’ as your opinion, and not the business of the state.
My opinion is that the business of the state is whether relatives or doctors are actively murdering the elderly without their consent.
