No, Christianity teaches that there is life after death (the form and timing are debated), and that it can be better than this one. Christianity also acknowledges the possibility of Hell and Damnation. That’s just as much a part of Christian doctrine as Heaven (though again, the details are disputed/debated).

I have read several near death experience stories (NDE) and people seem to like what they experienced.

I have zero faith in those experiences, for various reasons.

But aside from considerations of the post-death existence, the central issue with euthanasia is that human beings are Fallen, and cannot be trusted on such matters. The ever-steepening slippery slope of euthanasia is no surprise, because it’s cheaper to kill a patient than to treat them.

A recent case in Canada illustrates this: https://www.ewtnnews.com/world/us/84-year-old-woman-speaks-out-after-being-offered-euthanasia-while-visiting-canadian-er-for-back

Now allowing for the possibility that the story is wrong/false/exaggerated, it’s all too believable even so.

Likewise the ‘shocking’ discovery that hospitals would be more likely to euthanize if organs are listed as usable. Nothing shocking about it, that’s precisely why I never signed the organ donor option on my drivers’ license, all the way back to my teenage days. I knew perfectly well that money talks, even back then.

I hate that fact, because I would be very happy for my usable organs to extend someone else’s life…after I am well and truly and legitimately done with them. But I’ve never been naive enough enough to trust to institutional altruism on the matter.

(Or in some cases, I trust institutional altruism to result in evil. I could well imagine some doctor, motivated by what s/he truly believes is a higher good, to save someone more valuable (by whatever metric) than me, letting me die to save them.)

It’s one thing to refuse extreme interventions. It’s one thing to decide to stop artificially preserving life and let nature take it’s course under some conditions. But actively ending life opens up a can of worms like nobody can imagine, because you’re pouring gasoline on the corrupt fire of Fallen human nature.)

Along the same lines of ‘relieving pain and suffering’, there are countries that claim they have eliminated ‘Down’s Syndrome’. And they have – by eliminating, via abortion, babies that test positive for it!

I also removed my organ donor registration. Not sure they’d want really old organs, but still …

I have not registered as an organ donor, because in my corrupt Democrat state I fear I could end up worth more dead than alive, if some connected person needed my organs.

My view is that people who advocate euthanasia believe in themselves as God-like, somehow being empowered (by whom or what?) to choose life or death for themselves and for others.
Cindy Simon’s post, above, illustrates my point. Pro-euthanasiacs have the power to relieve pain and suffering by the process of elimination of the afflicted person. This is not part of the Hippocratic Oath, established maybe 3000 years ago, and still quite valid. Some medical schools have come up with their “new” version, since the Oath precludes performing an abortion. There is the slippery slope.

The hospital had not only committed her organs prior to her final choice, they will make something on the close order of EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS on her organs.

See this post, and my comment at 9:47 regarding Niven’s “The Jigsaw Man”:

Christians for the most part believe there is life after death, and that life is better than this one. At a younger age I wanted to live as long as I could. At 83, and feeling parts of me lose their old abilities, the question of life or death becomes more equal. For my wife, who has spinal issues, I would say it has gone beyond the equilibrium point — that is, except for not knowing what is there, I think she would welcome the chance to find out what comes after death as she lives in constant pain now and has given up essentially all activities that made her happy in earlier times.

If we lived in Canada I know she would explore medically assisted life termination. Actually, from what I understand of the current state of play in Canada, her physician would probably have recommended it about 5 years ago.

Selfishly, I am happy she is still here, although I see her pain daily and her current condition adds lots of additional work to my life. But I am happy she continues to live.

Her condition has caused me to think a lot more about what comes next. I have read several near death experience stories (NDE) and people seem to like what they experienced. If only death were like an Amazon package, with a free return privilege, it would be a lot easier to make that decision.

Planned Personhood or State-assisted selfie-abortion. At least it was her Choice.

All’s fair in lust and abortion? Maybe, baby, not is a fetus… feature of the progressive path and liberal grade. A wicked solution with forward-looking consequences.
