Bioethics
Abortion
- Christianity hold a general position of it being wrong
- Catholicism it is a grave sin against the live that God has gifted and if the expectant mother feels that she is unable to keep the child, adoption should be considered as an alternative instead of abortion.
- However the Uniting Church the choice is up to the individual woman, who must reconcile herself with God and continue in her faith. Many women who choose abortion do so because of the social and economic difficulties, recognising that the final decision must be left to the pregnant woman and that the Church should support both women who have an abortion and those who continue with their pregnancy.

- Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.
- “Job 1:21 Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away.
Euthanasia
Euthanasia is the deliberate hastening of death via painless means to end suffering for someone who is suffering from an incurable disease, or when it is judged that there is no quality of life.
- Death, dying and suffering are also a natural part of life, and any act to deliberately shorten a person’s life is not supported. Palliative care is a means to promote a culture of life rather than support a culture of death accepting death as part of overall mystery of life.
- Christianity holds a firm opposing position towards Euthanaisa with no variant differences. The belief that the dignity and sanctity of life must be upheld and in the practice of euthanasia, dignity is removed.
