THE RIGHT TO LIFE- 'Human life should never be taken' (SOY) - Some people think that only God has the right to take the life that he gave us, ' he sets the time for birth and the time for death' and nothing can outweigh the sanctity of life. - Other people think that quality of life is more important and so in some circumstances abortion or euthanasia can be seen as compassionate killing because God wouldn't want to see anyone suffer because it says to 'love thy neighbour' meaning we should do what is in the best interests of the person. - I think that human life should never be taken because ' your body is a temple of the holy spirit' and so we should respect ourselves and our bodies and whatever the situation each human is unique and precious to God.
THE RIGHT TO LIFE- Describe the work of hospices. - Hospices provide care and a place of rest for the terminally ill. They try to offer an environment where patients can die with dignity and are given the best possible care and treated with respect. - Hospices offer palliative care to those and counselling for both the patient and families as preparation for death. - They also offer a range of therapies and respite care for carers who need a break.
THE RIGHT TO LIFE- 'Euthanasia is against Christian teaching' (SOY) - Some people think that Euthanasia is against Christian teaching because it goes against the 'sanctity of life' principle and the bible says that 'he sets the time for birth and the time for death', therefore only God can choose when you die. - Other people think that euthanasia is not against Christian teaching because it is an act of compassion and as Christians we should 'love thy neighbour' and take care of others needs appropriately. - I think that euthanasia is an act of compassion because it puts an end to unbearable suffering.
THE RIGHT TO LIFE- Explain why some Christians agree with pro-choice views on abortion. - Some Christians agree with pro-choice views on abortion because the woman is the one who has to carry and give birth to the child and so she will be most likely to care for it in its early years. - The woman could be pregnant through rape or failed contraception. - The woman may not feel physically or mentally able to go through with the pregnancy and so she knows what is best for herself in her situation. - The woman is living and so her rights should always take priority over the foetus.
THE RIGHT TO LIFE- 'It is better for a child to be born with a disability than to be aborted' (SOY) - Some people think that it is better for a child to be born with a disability than to be aborted because the sanctity of life principle applies to all human beings and we are told to 'go forth and multiply' meaning our job is to procreate and the disability should not interfere with this. - Other people think that the child should be aborted than live with a disability because it could be seen as an act of love as we are told 'clothe yourselves with compassion and kindness' meaning it would be an act of compassion if their life was to be short. - I think that the child should be born with a disability because ' we are all one in Christ' and so everyone deserves a chance at life because it was 'a gift from God'.
