Ok, firstly, i dont want to hurt anyone's feelings or beliefs with this. When i was watching the funeral of a writer who decided to let the doctors end his live due to altzheimer disease, he planned the moment, and said goodbye to all around him before doing so. This man was not religious, in fact, he was strongly anti-religious. However, the Bisschop of his provence said that it was not allowed by the bible, and that it was bad of him to do so. Its not illigal to do this in the country he lived, so thats not an argument not to allow it. i think that the Bisschop doesnt have anything to say about the man's choises. what about you? do you think that religious leaders shouldn't try to control the lives of other people? and if not, to wich extend should they do so?
