Roman Catholic o Euthanasia is totally wrong – God decides when we die, not us. Goes against the sanctity of life; life is a gift from God and should be respected. o God will support you through your suffering just as Jesus was supported o Any act of deliberately bringing about death is the same as murder. However: o Life saving treatment or life-saving drugs need not be given if they are unlikely to stop death eventually. o Switching off life support is not euthanasia if the person is brain dead: Roman Catholic o Euthanasia is totally wrong – God decides when we die, not us.

A persons life is their own, you should have control over your death. It’s a way of loving your neighbour...to relieve their pain, surely God would be OK with that Pain and sickness can rob you of your dignity. It is pointless using up expensive medical services for people who are dying anyway.

When one of the children passes away at Ty Hafan, they engrave their name on a pebble. These pebbles are placed under a spring in their garden. As the water runs over the pebbles, the names begin to fade away. Some people like to think the children's spirits are free once their names have disappeared. I’d like to end today’s lesson reflectively, taking time just to be quiet and to think of those children being cared for at Ty Hafan; may God hold them close
