Critics of euthanasia argue that it undermines the inherent value of human life, a principle central to Christian doctrine. They believe that legalizing euthanasia could lead to a slippery slope where the lives of the vulnerable—such as the elderly, disabled, or terminally ill—are devalued. Advocates for opposition suggest that Christian leaders uniting on this issue could send a strong message about the importance of preserving life and could influence public policy accordingly.

Supporters of this viewpoint also emphasize the role of religious leaders in shaping ethical discussions within society. They argue that a collective stance by Christian leaders could provide moral clarity on the issue and encourage compassionate alternatives, such as improved palliative care and emotional support for those suffering.

On the other hand, proponents of legalizing euthanasia argue that individuals facing unbearable suffering should have the right to choose a dignified end to their lives. They believe that while religious leaders have the right to express their beliefs, policy decisions should consider diverse perspectives in a pluralistic society. Some suggest that uniting against euthanasia might not reflect the nuanced views of all Christians on this complex issue.
