The document discusses the Catholic Church's stance on euthanasia. It provides definitions of euthanasia and explains that the Church forbids it because it is a form of murder prohibited by the Fifth Commandment. The Church affirms the right to life from conception to natural death. While motives may mitigate culpability, euthanasia does not change in nature from being a murderous act. The document also discusses how Jesus showed compassion for the sick and how we should trust in God regarding life and death.
