The different Christian views are:
- Life comes from God. It is sacred. It is God's gift to us and therefore we have a responsibilty to live
- Christians should show compassion. Jesus said 'treat others as you would want to be treated'
- God gives life but also gives us free will to choose right and wrong. The dying person whould be able to determine when they die.
- Roman Catholic 'double effect' - the effect of helping a person in pain by giving pain-relief drugs, might have a double effect. first, to take away the pain, and second, bringing death sooner. This is ok, because the primary aim is to provide pain-relief and not end life.
