Pope Francis siad that euthanasia was a sin against God and creation.
The intervention in the end of life debate came in the aftermath of the assisted suicide of American Brittany Maynard who wanted to die with dignity rather than of her terminal brain cancer.
He condemned
Abortion as well as denouncing euthanasia and implied that IVF or 'the scientific production of a child' was actually 'using human beings as laboratory experiments to presumably save others.' "It is playing with life."
He also said to "Beware, because this is a sin against the creator, against God the creator."
Francis urged doctors to, despite it possibly involving conscientious objection, take decisions to uphold the church. Abortion and such like causes that our site focuses on appear to be symptoms of todays 'throw away culture'.
