As a related aside, it is the very people who are vigorously pursuing legalized death who should be the most afraid of it. The issue is, rather, what God wills. For the Christian life is God's gift and its end is to be determined by Him. God's dominion includes all of life, which means that suffering is a part of God's providence. Therefore, suffering that cannot be relieved by modern medical means is to be accepted as from the hand of a loving God who knows what He is doing, even when we do not understand.
Death is part of life.
Therefore, in looking at suffering and impending death the Christian should see God's sovereign hand and purpose, as well as the opportunity for ministering to the weak and vulnerable, with whom Christ Himself is identified. According to this perspective, life should not be continued unless it is a wanted life. The Christian perspective of human life puts God in control of this issue. We are to trust Him to allow to befall us only that which will ultimately benefit us. We can also see enormous opportunities to minister God's love to those who are needy and suffering.
