Do you think Physician-assis. suicide (PAS) should be legal?
Question:
Answers:
Yes. PAS.is contitutional and legal in Colombia, South America, since 1991. And currently is the only country that has it legal; Australia used to a few years back, but it gave in to pressures from Great Britain.
From the christian point of view.
it depends if you have liberal theological convictions or not.
Life is life; in the book of Zechariah in the 12th chapter, the first verse tells the congregation of the people of Israel that the Hebrew God laid the foundations of the earth and created the spirit of man within him.
In the book of Genesis 1:2 it tells us that the Spirit of the Hebrew God moved upon the face of the water.
So, The Creator God is spirit and we his creation are spirit and our flesh has this spirit that was given to us.
In Genesis 1:26 God creates man in His image and likeness; in other words.
Spirit and reason.
Life then is first spirit, then it is given reason and flesh to go with it.
The Gospel of John is called the spiritual Gospel for many reasons, but it is because its focus is the spirit of man redeemed thru the coming of the "new" nowledge of the Hebrew God within the person of Jesus of Nazareth.
There are several places where Jesus re-affirms our perfect state of being is the spirit;ie, john 5:26.
Also in the book of Exodus in the third chapter in verse 13 the Hebrew God tells Moses to go to the Children of Israel and tell them that The I Am has sent him to them; this is the present tence of the verb to be.
The Hebrew God Is and He gives Moses the action of going to the Iraelites. This is the anima of spirit.
Life is life; and it may be that by givin PAS.to a terminaly ill person that doctor is indeed giving life.
He or she is giving back the purity of life.
Pain,suffering, and war among men are things that are not of The Hebrew God.
".Be perfect as your Father in Heaven is Perfect."
Yes, I am a liberal and I hope it helps.
