Death on Demand? Wesley J. Smith Explains the Assisted Suicide Movement

Charlie…mixed emotions. The first thing is that when anyone commits suicide to me that is taking and making a decision ahead of God. Life and death to me is in His hands not ours. BUT Having watched my father and other family members suffer through cancer battles with pain I can understand the appeal of ending that suffering. We do it for our pets, but we let our families suffer. I guess to me it is a personal decision based on a persons beliefs and what they are going through. I don’t think it needs to be assisted…do what Dr Kavorkian did, hook them up and put the button in the hands of the person dying.
I do not believe in it for healthy people at all and will never understand that…to me that is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

I have mixed feelings on suicide, as Lt Col Scott Shuttleworth expressed . Human laws are fluid and political. I absolutely believe that in God’s mercy, He does forgive some who commit suicide.

That's terrifying. This undermines the Judeo-Christian values that are the bedrock of Western civilization.
