Jesus faced a death panel to make a point the only thing that mattered was personal conduct and the eternal salvation of his soul. As a Christian you should put temporal concerns aside and focus on unconditional love and forgiveness. You can learn these things by studying the bible.

What is your proposed alternative? To spend no-matter-what to extend expensive and ultimately futile therapies to terminal patients? For our society that would be ruinous. You say there are no steps between permitting doctor-assisted suicide and an unfettered Final Solution horror. If the deaths in question are subjected to two criteria (1: Is there reasonable hope for a cure? 2: Does the patient give consent from a sound mind?) and meet both, I see a powerful barrier against the sort of outcome you seem to simultaneously fear and guarantee. You need to read these screeds more critically. The fact that they align with your beliefs does not dispense them from making sense.
