When did I talk about God? That has nothing to do with the topic from my view. I said human life is sacred, as in:
"reverently dedicated to some person, purpose, or object: a morning hour sacred to study." or
"regarded with reverence: the sacred memory of a dead hero."
And yes, if everyone would do the right thing we wouldn't need laws. The only reason we need any laws is because some people don't do the right thing. We have to ban murder because not everyone will not do murder on their own. Same thing with theft, rape, drunk driving, and everything else.
So if everyone was using Euthanasia for a good cause, that's great. But ending lives is a dangerous activity, and as it stands I'm not sold that it can be allowed without some dire consequences.

Even if you mean sacred as in reverance, you're still imposing that on people who don't believe in that.
No. The purpose of law isn't to ban what you don't like.

Yes, that is what the purpose of law is. That is absolutely what it is. We don't like murder and theft, so we ban it. While it is more ambiguous, I don't like euthanasia. If I was to vote, i would vote against it being legal as it currently is in my country. Perhaps most people are OK with it and it will change in the future. Perhaps my opinion will change in the future. For now, I view it as something that should be banned because I don't like it and so does my country.
