Death with Dignity? The only "death with dignity" is that in which God has decided our number of days. To usurp Him based on our faulty and selfish thinking, is evil.
It is not dignified to put someone to death because they are in an emotional state and wish they could die. Dignity is when the dying person chooses to allow God to determine their death, while those caring for her/him surround their loved one with love and kindness through the process. God has His reasons for how long we live, perhaps in the end, those who have been callous will develop a heart while the dying person will see their love for the first time.
We should never play God, when dealing with people, their timing for death is His business. He determines when anyone should go. Our job is to make them as comfortable and well attended before they leave.
There can be no peace in deliberately killing a person, those who do it must attempt to justify it all the days of their life, if they have a heart, if they have a conscience.
