Euthanasia has taken hold in Europe, Canada and limited parts of the United States. This is a major pro-life issue.

Outstanding and shocking lecture on the gruesome aspects of euthanasia.
Christians have no authority to commit suicide in any circumstance. It is significant that in the sacred canonical books there can nowhere be found any injunction or permission to commit suicide either to ensure immortality or to avoid or escape any evil. In fact, we must understand it to be forbidden by the law “You shall not kill” (Exodus 20:13), particularly as there is no addition of “your neighbor” as in the prohibition of false witness, “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor” (Exodus 20:16).

Thanks, Fred. Dr. Coleman provides the slippery slope argument in real life, citing examples. And your theological summary is right on target.
