The sanctity of human life in the twenty first century: the challenge of euthanasia and assisted suicide

Abstract

Emeka C. Ekeke (Rev) and Ephraim A. Ikegbu

Human life is sacred. The heartless and heinous destruction of human life in the name of euthanasia and assisted suicide is a great threat to the sanctity of human life which great books of religions enjoin. This paper seeks to examine from the Christian point of view, practice of euthanasia and assisted suicide which has become a great challenge to the sanctity of human life. It recommends among others that euthanasia and assisted suicide should be stopped because human life is valuable irrespective of how debilitated, deformed or degraded in human sight such life might look at a particular time.
