Yeah it is acceptable e.g re you guys familiar with curdelier virus?i pray no one comes in contact cos it kills within 6 hours of exposure to the virus.it starts with unstopping nose bleeding,then great pain in the abdomen as if they are ripping you open alive.If you see that kind of person suffering,writhing with pain, won't you offer tha person a suicide capsule or gun to end his life him/herself or won't you even "mercy kill" that persons.so my point is that "mercy killing"is accepted or why was suicide capsule made?

ayusadeg:
I will say yes, because we are not the owner of our lives, God is the giver of life and He does whatever pleases him on it according to Psalm 115:3 'Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him', the person that is undergoing pains today if spared may still survive and be miraculously healed, even if God is able to raise the dead how much more a body with life, we are not in position to kill all in the name of relieving an individual of pain, take instance of people who are terribly ill around you in the past who later recovered and become healthy, so it's none of our business to kill in order to remove pain.
''The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up''. 1Sam 2:6

IT IS NOT a sin hoo haa. Thou shall not kill doesn't mean you will rot in hell for running over someone with your car accidentally. If death becomes a comfort to a suffering man, why hesitate to give him that? Religion has really made some people fools

icebeatz:


If the law of the land says its not a sin, then its not a sin in heaven. As it is on earth, so shall it be in heaven.

By extension does that mean gay marriage is not a sin cos it is a law in certain states in the US and in Europe and Africa. As it is in heaven so it shall be on earth?

what of fornication and adultery which the law of the land makes legal.?

Hmmm pity me

Thou shalt not kill, except during war. But there are some extreme cases, where keeping someone alife is torture and waste of money, I think in cases like this, its justifiable.

ramalot:
How about you ask someone to kill you, so you can go ask whomever you believe in if it is a sin.

Dumb response to a straight forward question. Is it a sin? Yes or no... If yes, why. If no, why. #Dazall

HrtBrkSteve:
Its a sin because God say thou shall not kill what ye can't create or give breath to. Shikenah#

And you kill mosquitoes, flies, bugs and other living things you see as threats yet you can't create them, so contradicting. Abeg i don taya for religion.

I always ask these questions, what if Nigerians colonised England or Europe? What if the if it was the igbos, Yorubas and other tribes that explored and colonised other parts of the world? The white man would be worshipping in shrines by now. These things are not ours they are alien, why do we have Christians predominantly in the south and muslins predominantly in the north? It's simple, the white missionary came through the south evangelizing from south northwards and the Arabs came from the desert converting people via jihads from north southwards and the intersection between these two aliens happens in the middle belt hence the predominant mix of Christian and muslins in the middle belt. God exists, God is universal, God created all things but when we talk of sin it is relative to what is acceptable and unacceptable in your surrounding. So finally is euthanasia a sin? Well here is my question, is it acceptable where it's being practised? Religion should be a to making us better people and not the cancer it is now to mother earth. No disrespect intended tho.

It is definitely a sin. People are fond of creating confussions through philosophy; white lie, black lie, euthanasia...
God that gave life knows when to take it and He would whenever it pleases Him.

Iamsynord:
Euthanasia( Mercy Killing ) is the practice of intentionally ending a life in order to relieve pain and suffering..It Can also be described as termination of life by a doctor at the request of a patient".

Euthanasia is widely practised in the Medical field by doctors and Physicians and is legal in Holland,Belgium and Canada..

It is done to relieve extreme pain and suffering a patient is experiencing especially when death is certain for the patient. and can be done by voluntary approval of patient or discretion of the doctor.

My question is euthanasia a sin before God being that it is to relieve the patient from unnecessary suffering

Why do humans always want to tempt God & justify sin....

the patient-COMMITTED SUICIDE
the doctor-COMMITTED MURDER....

#gospel truth?

Idrismusty97:
It is a sin! All the doctors involved in that would burn in hell. God won't heal the person and don't want anyone or even the patients to relieved "themselves" of their pains...Don't you know how god enjoy the sight of dying patients .

Note. It is on request of the patient. It is the patient decision, more like suicide. For a patient to take such decision means he is dying and in heavy pains. Most of these conditions are inevitable, they would die anyway...So why prolonged their suffering. If you say it is a sin then it either god want to watch that patient suffer till death or he simply doesn't exist.

Really? You seriously need help.

*been a while tho.

I'll say Yes it's a sin. Because, it was not written anywhere in the Qur'an or Bible that we should practice that. Moreso, it is not in any Hadith be it Sahih or dahih . We can see it in both scriptures when Job was in pains, he did not pray for death rather he prayed that God should stop the pains and his prayer was answered. His lost things during the sickness was returned in folds. Therefore, let's have trust in God that He heals. Thank you.

Asked my pupsi n he said- it is a sin. Leave it for God to decide d person's fate.

Guy u don turn bible around

More like as it is in Heaven, so shall it be on earth. meaning earth has to copy d things of heaven.

Therefore its a sin oo

Pains can go and solutions can come even in the last minute of breathe, so give a life, don't take a life

I respectfully disagree with you on this. For example, in Lebanon, the law of the land says a man can have sexual intercourse with any female animal, that is their law but we all know it's a sin in the eyes of God.

Its a sin. God doesnt reason like men. Men has an excuse for everything. What we think is impossible god see as possible. Killing is killing no matter how, why, who , and where. We need to stop justifying wrongs to make ourself feel better.

Euthanasia (Mercy Killing)
I hate the word, I hate the debate, I just came to read peoples comment...
If you have had a first or second hard knowledge of why it is called 'mercy killing' you will know its a very serious case...

I pray not to be in a situation where Euthanasia is dependent solely/partially on my decision

Some curiosity will be fed on the day of judgment..

I don't pray to ever be in a situation where I'd have to decide to tell anyone to aid me towards committing suicide.

we are talking euthanasia, you are talking about self servicing, what connects the two?

Who created God? Where did he come from? Who gave him his powers? Where does he dwell? As a forgiving father, why did he not forgive Lucifer's (alleged) attempted coup? Please answer all these questions correctly. Thank you

And what did the omnipotent, omnipresence, all powerful, Almighty sky daddy committed? When you have the power to save a life, especially an innocent life who is even crying up to you what did you committed?
