Hospice or Auschwitz?

Euthanasia should be legal. I wouldn't personally take my own life since it's a sin but anyone that doesn't share my views should have that option since it only affects the life of 1 person.

Euthanasia should be legal. Abortion is murder.

Would removing a feeding tube still be considered a sin, given that it's technically only the cessation of life support?

I wish they fought as hard for the unborn as they are for this woman who is a complete veg case.

Even though I don't have an fixed opinoun either way on abortion, good observation. Makes you think doesn't it?????

Is taking someone off from chemo or saline not the same as a feeding tube? All 3 of them are the same when it comes to maintaining life.

But ... it's the removal of artificial, man-made life support. It's not like someone is being given a syringe of cyanide. What about the Jehovah's Witnesses (I think it's them) who refuse blood transfusions or any kind of medical intervention if they're sick? Are they sinning if they refuse to ingest pills or take needles or have surgery?

I don't see how an ommission can be the same as an action.

Jehovah's Witnesses refuse blood transfusions based on Acts 15:29 which says "to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication. If YOU carefully keep yourselves from these things, YOU will prosper...."

Who am I to say if they are right or wrong in refusing blood transfusions.
Chemo and saline are also man made along with a feeding tube.
