Answer 1

3. Euthanasia is referred to as the process of inducing death by medical means to the individual with terminal illness or end of life stage. This process is carried on the concept that the individual has right to end his or her own life and medicine can help him or her in guiding physicia assited suicide. The individual at end of life or with no cure to terminal illness has right to choose to die or commit assisted suicide rather than tolerate the sufferings.

This concept is not supported by catholics. Catholic teaching condemn euthanasia as crime against life and god. These views on euthanasia is determined by catholic principles that include sanctity of life, dignity of person and concomitant human rights.

Moreover it is clearly explained that catholic preachings view euthanasia as the process against god's natural plan and is unacceptable for them.
