Was Jesusβ death an assisted suicide?
In a House of Lordβs debate on assisted suicide, Lord Vinson claimed that βChrist was put out of his agony by a kindly Roman centurionβ
He seems to have missed the crucial detail that Jesus was already dead when pierced with a spear β proven by both the blood and water that came out.
In fact, Jesus turned down the offer of gall on the cross, which is likely a poison intended to relieve suffering.
Jesus βset his faceβ towards Jerusalem and laid down his life to save us. But his death was no suicide β it was the unjust killing of an innocent man.
Assisted suicide attempts to avoid pain and suffering by risking the lives of many more vulnerable people.
But Jesus willingly suffered a painful death so that many others could live.
