Once more, euthanasia has been in the news. A member of the House of Lords, Lord Joffe, has once more sought to have the present law which forbids doctors prescribing drugs that would end the life of a terminally ill patient who requests that their life be ended. Suicide is an act usually associated with those the balance of whose mind was affected. In like manner, a request for assistance to end one's life is a request coming from someone who is not in their right mind! We say this kindly. A full consideration of ALL the facts regarding death, irrespective of what suffering a person is enduring, would prevent such a request being made. The Christian will not consider such a thing since, however they die, their death will come in God's time and will glorify God. The unbeliever, were he but to know what lies beyond this scene of time, would prefer to remain amidst his sufferings and avail himself of that glorious opportunity to repent and believe the gospel of Christ which may be done only on this side of the grave! Behind the campaigning for euthanasia there is ignorance and rejection of God and His eternal purpose in Christ. Euthanasia is foolish man's final and most foolish act of defiance of God. He cries in the face of the Almighty that he will decide for himself when he will die and unwittingly leaps into the damnation of everlasting fire.
