Physician-assisted suicide—once a fringe topic—is now a central ethical debate in the U.S., the U.K., and beyond. Supporters say it offers terminal patients dignity and relief. Opponents warn it opens the door to moral and spiritual dangers, devaluing life and replacing hope with control.
For Christians, the stakes are even higher. We believe in a God who is present in suffering and sovereign over life and death. But what about the person who is facing unimaginable pain or slow deterioration? How do we respond with truth, compassion, and care?
Should believers advocate for laws that allow physician-assisted death? Or does that cross a sacred line we’re never meant to touch?
How do you see it: an act of mercy—or a serious distortion of biblical compassion?
“Dying with dignity shouldn’t mean dying without hope.”
