The question of euthanasia for patients with terminal illnesses lends itself to different worldviews and interpretations. George’s condition of ALS has forced him to consider euthanasia.

I selected ‘Nature of God’ from World View Chart as it is the key factor of religion. Here the word ‘nature’ means the perception of God in different religions, not the relation between God and his devotees or how God is espoused to act or behave in relation to humans as per different religions. How different religions theorize the nature of God is important. Without studying this factor we cannot understand why there is a conflict between different religions and whether this conflict is natural or misconceived.

The viewpoint of these commands is not static and as such is different from one religion to another. Philosophers hold different opinions on this theory; as a result, it has been defended by some and opposed ...

Humanity is associated with temptations and sinning. However, for believers to have faith in him as the Messiah, he resurrected from the death.
