Thus it is the responsibility of each individual and all of humanity to use the gifts of creation to overcome evil and promote goodness. It is one of the roles and obligations of government to be a mechanism by which this is done. Each person has the right to live in a world of love, faith, hope, kindness, understanding, justice, and peace. Life is intended to run its natural course. Death is not the ultimate evil, it is not the end of existence.
Death is part of life, a most important and deeply sacred part of life.
Because we are interdependent and because we never cease to grow, no one, not even the individual nor the state, has sufficient reason to violate the right of a person to die a natural death. To deny anyone the opportunity to die when his or her time has come is to violate the meaning and purpose of why people were born, why they grow, why they live in justice and peace. These four rights are from God. They are the foundation upon which Christianity bases its understanding of life and morality. The promotion of any one of them strengthens the rest, the violation of any weakens the remainder.
