God said, *Thou shalt not murder*.
If you participate in killing someone, no matter how you try to disguise it with semantics, you are guilty of murder.
Talk to Him about it and see if He’ll accpet your reasoning.
is it murder to disconnect someone from a machine that keeps them alive even if God would have taken them long ago had men not placed the person on the machine in the first place? Who are you to determine Gods will in this matter anyways?
I don’t believe that RC one was saying that either patient should be intentionally killed. The scenario looked like stories I’ve heard from missionaries to the third world, heard from friends with parents in England, and read about in Canadian news reports. (Worse, one friend’s father was denied a central IV - they “hydrated” this 80-something man with a kidney infection with fluids under his skin because they couldn’t get a good IV in the arms or legs and it would have necessitated a surgery consult to place the central line.)
We know that self-defense and even capital punishment is not murder. Neither are medical triage that knowingly and intentionally allows some to live and some to die or the instances where comfort care is given to those for whom interventions are just as likely to cause death or injury and /or burdensome or overly invasive.
