Most Christians believe that life is a divine gift, taken up into God’s own external life in Jesus to be guarded and respected in others and one’s self (Meilaender, G. 2013). Many people are inclined to overemphasize our freedom and forget the limits of their condition and forget that life is a gift and death is a great reminder of those limits.

Euthanasia is not of personal sovereignty because it requires another person to participate in these acts. To assist someone in euthanasia is the same as committing a heinous act of murder. While others view it as an act of compassion for those that are suffering. The principles that Christian have is compassion is not to minimize suffering but to maximize care. Some may view compassionate care by eliminating the suffering but suffering many times is a part of dying. As nurses we may not be able to eliminate all the suffering but we can facilitate comfort during this process (Meilaender, G. 2013).

God does not solve or take away suffering, Gods himself lives and bears that suffering with you, he shows love and heals through suffering.

Just like birth there is suffering that happens to give new life, there is a process that one has to go through with death also. My thoughts are simplest through time and treatment we can evade death by way of taking medications and surgical procedures. Which is good but when someone has decided to abstain from medical treatment doesn’t mean that they are committing suicide or ending their life they are simply putting their life in God’s hands and letting the process happen naturally. This is a natural process that we as nurses need to respect. Euthanasia goes against everything that I truly believe in and I think that this goes against God’s instructions that say “thou shalt not kill”. The same with suicide. Suicide is a sin regardless how anyone tries to justify the nature of the sin, it is still a sin.
