World renowned orchestras conductor, Sir Edward Downes and his wife, Joan decided to die together two weeks ago at a Zurich clinic run by the assisted suicide group, Dignitas. They drank a small amount of clear liquid and died hand-in-hand with their two adult children by their side.
Sir Edward was almost blind and growing deaf while his wife was diagnosed with terminal cancer. After 54 happy years together, they decided to end their own lives rather than continue to struggle with serious health problems, said a statement from the couple's children.
In Britain, people are now debating whether they should be allowed to help ailing loved ones end their lives. I think we should not play God but let God be God. It is God that gives lives and man have no right to decide when to end it unless God say so.
Job 34 : 14 - 15 If it were His intention and He withdrew His spirit and breath, all mankind would perish together and man would return to the dust.
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; may the name of the LORD be praised."
Job 33 : 4 The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
