• aquinas rejected euthanasia and suicide

  it is not lawful for man to take his own life

  to bring death upon oneself is to adopt a greater evil in order to avoid the lesser
• violates precepts of preserving life, worshipping god and lpiaos
• ignores suffering for salvation as seen in christ suffering on the cross
• church allows dying to proceed without medical intervention thats extraordinary or disproportionate - clough
• sanctity of life
• euthanasia is rarely a side effect of a morally good action

  possible example of morphine with the side effect of shortening a life
• proportionalism - actions are not intrinsically good or evil. intentions matter more. if theres a proportionate reason for euthanasia with a good intentioned moral agent it may be oermissible
