Subject: Suicide: a question on sin |
Bible Note: Greetings Mark! We will keep your sister-in-law in our prayers. These are tough questions. The concern in these cases is more a quality of life issue rather than faith vs. medicine. I am totally opposed to a parent refusing to allow a simple surgery that would save their childs life on the basis of 'faith'. However, in these more difficult cases, it is a choice between living 3 years in pain from treatment or living 2 years comforatably. If the medicine or surgery is there that can 'definitely' or 'nearly so' cure a person, I would say go for it. However, in cases where the cure may be worse than the disease, then there is a much tougher decision to be made. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
