Euthanasia: "Euthanasia must be
called
a false mercy, and indeed a disturbing
'perversion' of mercy. True 'compassion'
leads to sharing another's pain; it does
not kill the person whse suffering we
cannot bear."
(Evangelium Vitae no. 66, John Paul II)
life is the gift of God and at any point
none has right to take away life.Because
again the church teaches us that
"Precisely in an age when the inviolable rights of the person are solemnly
proclaimed and the value of life is public affirmed, the very right to life is
being denied or trampled upon, espacially at the more significant moments of
existence: the moment of birth and the moment of death."
(Evangelium Vitae no. 18, John Paul II)
