Euthanasia: those who "assist"

[Ozme52]

Thorne, My comments about the RCC had to do with some level of consistancy with the so-called unforgivable sin and asking someone to do it for you. I see that as hypocritical.

I'm not RC, nor even religious, in a "member of some organized church or theological entity" way. I don't defend (and try not to attack) them. But as you asked the specific question regarding suicide and euthanasia, I was answering it on the basis of what I see as a theological breakdown, and therefore having no substantive value to add to the ethical question posed.

The fact that they and other religious entities have numerous exceptions for breaking the rules when it's convenient is yet another matter for an interesting conversation (although I would be unlikely to participate.) LOL

One thing I've learned about the RCC is to never expect them to be consistent. Except, perhaps, consistently wrong.
