I am strongly against euthanasia.

Euthanasia takes advantage of people who are in a vulnerable state of mind and provides them with what seems like an easy answer but in fact is a drastic measure that can never be reversed or undone. What may seem like a hopeless illness on one day may very well feel like a manageable condition on another but euthanasia takes advantage of people's feelings when they are at the lowest position in their lives and compels them to make a life or death decision based on those feelings (and feelings are rarely constant).

Secondly, in order to legalize euthanasia, the State must guarantee that a doctor is present to administer the lethal injection. Legal euthanasia requires that at least some doctor's be made into murderers and I strongly abhor any society that would use legal force to compel a doctor who is under an oath to do "no harm" to provide a service such as this.

Thirdly, secularists believe that there is no heaven and hell but, in reality, proponents of euthanasia actually have no idea whatsoever about what lies after this life. Euthanasia is regarded as just being a simple medical treatment when in fact it has enormous implications on one's existence and goes far beyond the scope of medical care. Secularists have no idea what comes after this life and yet they hold euthanasia up as having a 100% success rate to end the patient's suffering. How can they be so sure that it will end the patient's suffering? What if hell is real and the patient ends up going there because of committing suicide? There is no undo button with euthanasia and I find it scary just how quick people are to disregard spiritual matters even though euthanasia goes far beyond just being a medical treatment and is in fact a permanent existential decision that delves into matters that science cannot explain.
