However other Christians,such as Anglicans and Methodist does not believe that life does not begin until they are born. They believe that abortion is an evil thing, so they avoid it if at all possible.
The Muslims are also against abortion. They believe that all things are things are in harmony with nature and the best way to live is to support this harmony. However Muslims believe that abortion can take place if the mother’s health is in danger.
Muslims believe that all human life is sacred because it is a gift from Allah.
The Hindus are also against abortion unless the mother’s life is at risk. They believe the soul is present in life. Hindus have respect for all life because in the cycle of birth, death and rebirth, it is possible to be born as an animal, a tree, or even a flower.
There are four types of euthanasia;
Active Euthanasia, which is usually called suicide, and is the taking of ones life.
Compulsory Euthanasia, which is, was a decision is made that a person must die.
Voluntary Euthanasia is when a person chooses to end their life, which is sometimes called ‘Mercy-Killing’
Passive Euthanasia is when a person is not helped to die.
The Roman Catholic says that every person is created by God and offered Christians Salvation. Killing an innocent person is never acceptable.
Euthanasia is illegal for England and Wales.
Muslims are also against it they believe that all life is a great gift from Allah and it is their duty to respond to it. Most Muslims would reject absolutely the idea of mercy killing, not because they have no mercy, but because they believe that everything that happens in life does so because Allah wills it.
Some Christians Support Euthanasia because a person has reached his her point of life where there is no worth living for.
Christians believe that suffering is a way of strengthening faith and is there for a purpose. Euthanasia goes against the commandment, ‘do not kill’. Euthanasia is murder.
Some Christians accept that life comes from God, but there is nothing in the Bible, which states that a person must be kept alive.
The SPUC is against abortion. They only allow abortion when the mother’s life is at risk.
‘God gives life and only God can take it away’.
I agree with this sentence because I believe that God will decide when the time is right to go.
For example, if someone had an accident and even though that person was a nice person, God would decide whether that this was the right time for that person to go.
I also agree with this sentence because God was the only person who gave life so I believe that only him should take life away whenever he feels it’s the right time to go.
I also disagree with this sentence because lots of nice young people die and I just think that if it is true that God is just the only person who can take life away then why let them young people die so soon.
Well if they’re suffering then I think that maybe they should suffer a bit because this is life and everybody suffer a lot.
The Roman Catholic Church agrees with the sentence because they believe that God is the only one who has the right to decide when it should begin or end.
They believe that God is the lord of life because he is the creator. They are against abortion and euthanasia, they believe that life begins at the moment of conception; they also believe that life is sacred.
Christians also agree with this sentence, they believe that God created life and no one ever has the right to destroy it. They believe that because God created life he is the only person who can take it away from somebody.
Muslims agree as well as they are against abortion. They only allow abortion to be legal if the retention of the foetus or embryo in the uterus threatens the mother’s life,
The Hindus believe that all creation is made by God, and is part of God. They believe that if you destroy someone’s life it’s an attack on a part of God’s creation.
