Evangelical leaders survey: ‘let God be God’ in end of life issues

Evangelical leaders survey: ‘let God be God’ in end of life issues | LifeSiteNews.com: A poll of the board of directors of the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) has found a marked unity in outlook on the issues surrounding end of life care and treatment.

The poll posed the question of assisted suicide or euthanasia if the individuals found themselves faced with severe pain in a terminal illness. The survey found, “When faced with severe pain in a terminal illness, 94 percent said they would not consent to the termination of their lives,” remaining firm in their commitment to “let God be God” when it comes to their life’s end.

“This reiterates what we already know about evangelicals: They want to honor life from womb to tomb,” said Leith Anderson, president of the National Association of Evangelicals, in a press release.
