Even if euthanasia aims to kill for mercy, still Im not in favor of it because I still believe that since God give everything to us including our precious life, then no one has the power to take our life except the Creator. Only God has the ultimate power to take our life. As we pray to Him, that His will be done.
Euthanasia means mercy killing, but still it is killing and its in the Ten Commandments of God, that we shall not kill. If a person is dying or in pain, euthanasia is not a solution. God has its own plan, has its own reason why He let that person suffer. Maybe God wants that person to realize something. All we have to do to help that person is to pray. God knows whats best for us.
Sure, lull yourself into a false sense of accomplishment by praying for someone.
Praying is like masturbation, it only helps the one who prays and does nothing in the real world.
Don't get me wrong. I do think prayer has benefits, just like meditation. But don't be deluded into thinking your thoughts are all it takes to positively effect the world. It requires action too! And in some cases this means letting people decide for themselves when to choose to pull the plug on life!
Also, I don't understand how you can say that god knows what is best and still have the arrogance to pray to him in hopes of convincing him to change his divine plan. You're not making any sense!
