Links To End of Life Issues
|
|
In addition to abortion, which terminates life at its beginning, we also are concerned about such issues as euthanasia at the end of life. As an aging population, we wrestle with the issues involved in facing the certainty of death. Life should be supported from its beginning (conception) to its end (natural death). Please feel free to browse the following links for help in dealing with the issues involved.

Religious Response
The purpose of this compendium is to share a religious perspective in opposition to legalizing physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia. Although there is a diverse representation of 52 religious denominations presented, all of their statements contain elements of a common belief – that any intervention into the process of death that deliberately causes a premature death violates man's ultimate covenant with God.
