" Body souls or spiritual souls? "

That's interesting... Both, I guess. I don't know how those around the patient, could live with themselves after being complicit in another's suicide: to me, that's tantamount to murder. And if the person in question suffers in the afterlife for choosing as they did, then those who helped will have to answer for that as well. You brought up an interesting dimension to the question. How do the enablers throughout the patient care hierarchy, live with what they've done?

I would say there has been such things as mercy killings but even that would be hard for a believer to live with.

I hate the idea of doctor assisted suicides as it is kind of like bounty hunting or killing for hire.

At the same time I have to remember only God can see the hearts of the ones who are on either end of the game.

One instance which comes to mind is the apostle Paul who was by some definations a killer for hire.

Acts chapter 7:58-60 chapter 8:1-3

1 Corinthians 15
9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

The out come of it all was that Steven was raised to glory land and Paul became a Christian who hated what he did so much that it was a thorn in his side for the rest of his life.

And any one who reads his writing can see that it actually caused him to be over zealous and too controversial on the opposite side but even so God can read hearts.
