The man I knew so well.

For the people who couldn't be there:











Hillsong United were awesome (Joel Houston cut away his hair!!!!) They were cool, but more than a month ago, Planetshakers & Tim Hughes did it waaaayy better.

Yesterday night my eyelids were as heavy as a tanker but I laughed so much at Fiona's post I became wide awake. I've been unceremoniously tagged by her (again) but I'm really lazy to do the stupid little thing.

Being the oh-so-perfect little sister, I stayed up to accompany the older brother while he was doing his thousand word essay on ethical dilemma. He wrote about euthanasia & yesterday while I was reading about it on Wikipedia my brain nearly exploded because I was having a huge argument with myself.

Euthanasia is a highly controversial subject, but is it right or wrong?

Actually, there isn't any right or wrong because it all boils down to one's beliefs, the morals & principals that they live by. Some people think that euthanasia is a merciful method of death but as a Christian, I personally feel that both involuntary & voluntary euthanasia are wrong because God is the giver of life, therefore He has the right over life & death. Humans are nobody to make the choice to end life. A person may be lying in a hospital after being pronounced as brain dead, but is God not keeping him alive? Therefore by voluntary euthanasia, this person is in a way, commiting suicide. & when somebody else (for example a close kin), makes a decision to take away the life of someone who is hopelessly ill, this person is commiting murder.

Just a thought. If doctors are the ones that carry out euthanasia, wouldn't they be helping the person to take away his own life, & thus commiting murder too? If that is true, I honestly feel that they have quite a sad life. Wouldn't there be quite a number of them burning in hell already?

Good luck to all O levelers, you guys are in my prayers.
