I really think it is the “ Christian “ thing to do .

Taking a life is not Christ-like.

Is it taking a life, or is it just not interfering with the natural processes?

Taking a life is not Christ-like.

Yeah, that privilege is reserved for God, who likes to perform it pre-birth, usually (more than half of fertilized eggs are just passed from the mother's body), but if someone slips by and is born, then He often gives him a while before stepping in and offing him. (Not always...for example, He sometimes does things like kills the firstborn.) That time is up to a 100 years or more.

Then, if you're really unlucky, He taunts you with really horrific agony and doesn't let you escape for quite some time, expecting you to consider yourself blessed to be able to experience excruciating pain.

But, of course, at times He'll order people to kill (e.g., men, women, infant, and sucklings of Amalek). Then, it's okay.

Yeah, but taking a life just isn't Christ-like.

Come on. Mercy is very Christ-like. Allowing suffering to continue is not Christ-like. Respecting individuals and their choices is very Christ-like. If you don't like it, then shake off the dust from your sandals and move on.
