EUTHANASIA has always been secretly carried out and some pretend as though it doesn't happen.

It's never acceptable. Even before God, it's a sin! If u can't give life, you have no moral justification to take it. God himself gives life, he alone reserves the supreme right to take it. The Catholic church campaigns so much against "mercy killing" |

hurricaneChris: I think your take is from the religious perspective.. OP there is no clear cut when it comes to morals as 'euthanasia' is concerned 1 Like |

Mbkite:Morals is about principles of right and wrong. The world is made up of too many people from different religions and beliefs A Christian can tell you that its morally wrong. But what do you think an atheist would say? What do you expect someone that don't believe in life after death to say... Euthanasia is just too big a debate and cannot be clearly called moral or immoral.. 1 Like |

favoured234:I get ur point, but Morality has nothing to do with religion. Let us keep religion away from dis and look at it from d literal meaning of morals which is- principles of right and wrong behaviour. How were our forefathers able to give right judgements even when religion has not come in? I think it was based on MORAL. 1 Like |

Re: Is Euthanasia (mercy Killing) a sin? by innervoice(m): 9:54am On Jul 26, 2015 |
It is an act of mercy and therefore justifiable. |

favoured234: Leave religion aside. Can u authorize a request asking the life of ur dearest person be taken, because he/she is suffering severely in the hospital? It's nothing to do with religion. Like I said before, if you can't give life, you have no right to take it. No matter the situation. My first and second sisters are Doctors, I know their stance on this issue. |
Re: Is Euthanasia (mercy Killing) a sin? by innervoice(m): 11:44am On Jul 26, 2015 |
hurricaneChris: First, YOU do NOT authorize anything nor any member of your family, mother, wife or brother. The person who is incurably sick takes this decision. Secondly, your argument that you cannot take life because you cannot give life is flawed. Parents give life to their children and even though they do, they are not allowed to kill their children. According to your line of reasoning, they should be allowed to do so because they have given them life. 1 Like 1 Share |

hurricaneChris:HurricaneChris, if I understand what you meant, u are of the view dat it is morally wrong to engage in Euthanasia? What if when all the options have been exausted on the sick and he request 4 Euthanasia? Assume also him and d doctor have no business with any religion. |

hurricaneChris:Are you a vegetarian? If no, then if not for religion, why are you seeing human life better than the cow life.. Are you able to create the chicken life, then why sniff life out of it? 5 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Is Euthanasia (mercy Killing) a sin? by Nobody: 2:23pm On Jul 26, 2015 |
Mbkite: Now this is it... you just brought the bible in our take on euthanasia to a great extent is guided by our religious belief. You can hardly argue on the morality or immorality of it without bringing religion in 3 Likes |

Lalasticlala, please I need more input on this topic. It calls for a debate |
Re: Is Euthanasia (mercy Killing) a sin? by Nobody: 10:13pm On Apr 25, 2016 |
In my opinion, morals have nothing to do with this. Its a decision made by the person in regard and referenced by one next of kin e.g a family member. This is not about Morals. "Morals" is relative. |

I think in some cases it's morally justified. |
