There is a lot on the Net about this topic. Read through the following pages and note down the Christian teaching:
The following questions have all come up in recent years [1998 Q3, 1997 Q3, 2000 Q3]
(a) Describe and explain the Christian teaching which a Christian might use when thinking about euthanasia. [8]
(b) A Christian husband is asked by his wife to help her to die because she is suffering great pain from a cancer which will eventually kill her.
Explain how his Christian beliefs might affect the way he deals with this situation. [7]
(c) 'The right to die with dignity is just as important as the right to live.'
Do you agree? Give reasons to support your answer and show that you have thought about different points of view. You must refer to Christianity in your answer. [5]
Use the space below to sketch an answer to each of these. Don't write in full sentences - just jot down the key points then work out how to structure your responses. It is good to do this in an exam - it takes a few minutes but means you will have more ideas and they will be organised better.
