I believe the proper use of the word God is capitalized.

Providing life support to an otherwise dead person is playing God.

My wife and I had a discussion with this when we were putting together our wills. After seeking counsel we were told that in situations like this there is a difference between suicide (where someone unable to function without a machine is given a drug to kill them) and removing life support, which essentially at that point leaves it up to God. Of course, I’m sure someone can take my post to the extreme (I’ll expect a “Well if you get in a car accident and break every bone in your body you’d stay away from a hospital and leave it all up to God”) but I’ll assume most folks here are rational.
