Right to die issue
Does Scripture have any insight on "death with dignity" or "right to die" issues, such as people who are terminally ill ending their own lives?
The Bible has much to say about life and death. Life is important because it is a time of grace; it is the only time people have to be brought to a confession of their sins and a confession of faith in Jesus Christ as their Savior (2 Corinthians 6:1-2; Hebrews 9:27).
God makes it clear in the Bible that only he—directly or indirectly through his representatives in government—has the right to end a person’s life (Deuteronomy 32:39; Psalm 31:15; Psalm 90:3; Romans 13:4). Along with suicide, God forbids murder. Since God forbids the taking of one’s life (Exodus 20:13; Deuteronomy 32:39; Psalm 31:15), assisting a person to end life is equally forbidden.
Christian Life Resources has much good information on this subject. You can jump to their section on “Assisted Suicide” information via this link. Supplied with biblical information, you and I can witness to others about the precious gift of life and their only Savior from sin: Jesus Christ.
