Until we treat ourselves as we treat animals at their end we are not really civilised.
Animals cannot decide for themselves when it is time for them to be put down so we,
in our humanity and our caring attitudes decide for them.
We make a judgement as to whether their qualityof life and suffering is such that it is time to end it.
I have never seen any arguements against that approach to animals.
To me it therefore follows that we take the same approach to ourselves.
It is our own life and if we decide that our suffering is too great then we should be able to end it in a compassinate manner.
If your God considers this a sin then that is more evidence what a monster he really is.
