Unsure of where I really stand on this issue. It is a tough one.
If my doctor told me I was diseased, had a 0% chance of survival, and the next four months would be in excruciating pain until I died in a twisted heap...I might contemplate avenues.

I agree. It sounds high-minded and unsympathetic to blanket this issue as being pure evil. There are people who live every second of every day in terrible pain and can’t medicate it away without a lethal dose of medicine. While I’m weary of the possible slippery slope here, in the end, it’s the decision of the individual involved and their loved ones.

The track record of the medical community in anything doesn't give me a lot of confidence about their predictions.

Not only are they often wrong, it doesn't leave room for a miracle that God could do.

And they do happen.

I met a pastor from Africa who was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer. He had pictures of himself in the hospital and he was a wreck.

God healed him and he's back in his home country pastoring a church again.

In January, my bride’s water broke. Our daughter was not due till July. We were given a 95% chance of losing the baby. And if she was born, she would be in tough shape.

Dani was born four months later, and is doing well. The doctors told us there is no medical reason why she is ok.

Doc’s don’t know everything. Ours where great, but they often admitted they had no idea of why Dani kept improving.

Yes, Blue Jays, but would you insist that a doctor assist you? That, in my opinion, is the big problem.
