That They May Live

Assisted suicide and euthanasia. Is this really happening here and now?

It is, and God calls us to be prepared to confront these evils. Let’s start by understanding why assisted suicide isn’t the answer to suffering or a show of compassion. In this little booklet, you’ll delve into questions like:

  • What actually is assisted-suicide/euthanasia, and why is it “bad” medicine?
  • Isn’t assisted-suicide just about choice and freedom?
  • Who is at risk of being victimized by assisted-suicide?
  • What does history have to teach us?
  • What does God’s Word have to say about it?
