From the spiritual point of view are euthanasia and suicide right or wrong?

From spirit’s point of view, euthanasia and suicide are always wrong and can never be justified.

What all advocates of euthanasia and suicide do not know and what they should understand – indeed what all people, even non-advocates of euthanasia and suicide should know and understand as their opinions can easily change as circumstances and conditions change – is that the physical world and all aspects of existence in the physical world have been created by spirit solely for the purpose of spiritual development and evolution.

Spirit created and maintains the physical world, the physical existence and the physical experience solely for spiritual reasons and for spiritual purposes. This is the only reason for the creation and for the continual existence of the physical world. The physical and the things of the physical world are provided by spirit only for the sake of the spiritual not for the sake of the physical. The positive and negative experiences that occur and are experienced in the physical world are intended by spirit solely to prompt and promote the spiritual nature of individuals and the spiritual lessons that such experiences provide can only be provided in the physical world and through the physical experience. When the spiritual, therefore, does not occur because of the physical existence and experience, the physical has not fulfilled its primary purpose and the reason for its existence – and when the spiritual does not occur very well then the physical has not fulfilled its primary purpose very well.

Spirit concerns itself primarily with spirit and the things of the spirit. Matter and the things and experiences of matter are created and provided by spirit for spiritual purposes and for spiritual ends. Materialism is intended not for its own sake but for the sake of spirit. Therefore, from the perspective and opinion of the spirit, true success occurs not when an individual has an abundance of material things but when an individual has made great spiritual progress as a result of material things and the material existence.

Therefore, whenever it is the case that the thoughts and subsequent actions of an individual or individuals in any way prevent essential spiritual lessons being learned from physical experiences, the thoughts and actions of those individuals directly oppose the intentions and purposes of the spirit. In other words their thoughts and actions directly oppose the will of spirit and contravene spirit law. Their thoughts and actions are unspiritual – and because spirit is nature their thoughts and actions are also unnatural. An example of how an individual prevents essential spiritual lessons being learned from the physical experience is when an individual practises euthanasia or commits suicide. Unfortunately, because such practices are unspiritual and unnatural, and because they contravene natural law they must automatically create negative karmic consequences which require atonement for all parties involved in the euthanasia or suicide.
