The dictionary defines "euthanasia" as the painless killing of a patient suffering from an incurable and painful disease or in an irreversible coma. Although the practice is illegal in most countries, the desire for its legalization is increasingly growing and many countries have started legalizing the practice. In America, a doctor's choice and decision of euthanasia is illegal; however, voluntary euthanasia is legal in Oregon and Washington and will soon be legal in other states as well. How should Christians think about this subject?

 

In this conversation, Marc and Fuller dive deeper in their conversations about the Imago Dei (being made in the Image of God) and how having a proper framework and worldview is essential when having this conversation with anyone, including our own loved ones who are struggling with painful or incurable diseases.
