Euthenasia

honour your mother and your father - 10 commandments

you shall rise up before the greyheaded, and honour the aged.

Listen to your father who gave you life and do not hate your mother when  she is old 

you shall not kill

life is given by god and must be protected

I, your god, give you life and i can take it away.

dont you know that you yourselves are gods temple and that gods spirit lives in you? if anyone destroys god's temple, god will destroy him-corithians
