Christians Supporting Choice for Voluntary Euthanasia does not even take acknowledge "thou shalt not kill" in it's "Bible Facts" section. It says "the term 'sanctity of life' appears nowhere in the bible," yet affirms "that God has created human beings" and people are "made in the 'image' of God," but it's only so they can "make their own decisions and to accept responsibility for themselves and their neighbours." Yet, the sanctity of human life is a doctrine derived from these very truths!
One proponent goes on to claim, "It's not 'playing God' to seek freely to control the direction of my life, and it's not 'playing God' to seek freely to control the mode of my dying. For a Christian, God is not honoured by a person (made in the 'image' of God) abdicating her autonomy and freedom of will and passively submitting to 'fate'." So, by doing the very opposite of what God says, we somehow honor Him? "Submitting to fate"? No, we submit to a sovereign God.
