@KaeleyT I don’t think you read his post.

[Jonathan S. Smith @PastorJSSmith]

@NexTheBadger @lauriejkane @LilaGraceRose -how do we determine how much suffering someone should bear, or to say it another way… when does suffering get to the point where we can and should be able to end someone’s life.
-who is the arbiter of these important questions?

[Jonathan S. Smith @PastorJSSmith]

@NexTheBadger @lauriejkane @LilaGraceRose I understand. And like I said, I believe you are trying to promote something that you think is good.
I respectfully think your view has massive flaws.
-what is suffering? Is it only physical? Or does it include mental, emotional, relational suffering?

[Jonathan S. Smith @PastorJSSmith]

@NexTheBadger @lauriejkane @LilaGraceRose I understand what you’re saying. I’m saying intentionally ending an innocent human life is always wrong.
I understand you. I’m disagreeing with your moral judgements

[Jonathan S. Smith @PastorJSSmith]

@NexTheBadger @lauriejkane @LilaGraceRose No. I completely disagree. It’s not always moral to stop suffering. And it’s not always moral to abide by som1s wishes. Those are positions that have terrible logical conclusions.
Now, I truly believe that you wouldnt go to these conclusions. I believe you are trying to be loving

[Jonathan S. Smith @PastorJSSmith]

@NexTheBadger @lauriejkane @LilaGraceRose You’re misconstruing your position. Your position is not “letting a death happen.” Your position is to cause said death. Which is killing/murder
Letting a death happen would b to remove medical assistance that is keeping someone alive.
Killing is would be to directly cause death

[Jonathan S. Smith @PastorJSSmith]

@NexTheBadger @lauriejkane @LilaGraceRose This reply changes the subject. The question is NOT do I want people to suffer…
This question IS, is it morally right to kill an innocent human being, even if that human being wants to be killed.

[Jonathan S. Smith @PastorJSSmith]

@NexTheBadger @lauriejkane @LilaGraceRose Killing someone is certainly causing harm, friend. It’s the ultimate form of causing harm. Listen to what you’re saying.

[Jonathan S. Smith @PastorJSSmith]

@NexTheBadger @lauriejkane @LilaGraceRose A doctor’s job is not to kill someone.

[Jonathan S. Smith @PastorJSSmith]

@lauriejkane @NexTheBadger @LilaGraceRose Yes, as terrible and sad as a terminal illness is, it’s unthinkable to allow them to be killed.

[Jonathan S. Smith @PastorJSSmith]

@RichardHanania @DavidAFrench “Racism” sure has evolved in meaning the last few years…

[Jonathan S. Smith @PastorJSSmith]

@NexTheBadger @LilaGraceRose “Letting people die” and assisted suicide are two totally different things.
