EUTHANASIA 2

To the general lawfulness of euthanasia three matters are linked:

a) theological: God is Love
b) christological: Jesus Christ, in the Gospels, is the Healer and, for this reason, He is the antagonist of suffering.
c) anthropological: life is not only a gift but also responsibility and duty. Mainly in its last hour.
Moreover, within the same matter, we must notice that, by reason, life is a Gift only if it is life. In a Human sense, not in a banal, biological sense.
Finally, from the point of view of the anthropology of faith, in the case of a true believer, euthanasia speeds up the final Reunion and Embrace.
