Representative secular, professional, and faith-based ethical arguments for and against it are briefly reviewed. With respect for the contributions of that ethical discourse, the article sees the decision for aid in dying as a spiritual matter of the trust and freedom of faith in the loving, intimate presence of the Triune God with us in the incarnate Christ, and his union with the Father and the Spirit. |
