My wife and I "Put down" (Euthanized) our dog today.
She was a 13 yr. old Black German Shepherd Female whose hips ultimately could not support her anymore. <sigh>
So we called our vet, she came out and helped us, and now our dog is buried up on the hill with our other previous dogs.
We felt that it was the humane thing to do.
There was an old movie titled "They shoot horses don't they?"
Relating to having to shoot a horse with an unrepairable broken leg.
It got me thinking......
I have a personal experience where a family member was in so much pain,....extreme pain, from cancerous tumors, that the pain meds were not helping. To escape his living hell, he took an overdose of heroin to end it all.
So,...Euthanasia, for humans.
I do not know the answer to this so I submit...
Would God approve of a "saved" person who was in such misery that the person chose Euthansia?
"Thou shalt not kill (murder)" comes to mind but does that include suicide?
Thoughts?
