End of Life Decisions (Case Study: Christian World View)
The practice of health care providers at all levels brings you into contact with people from a

the fallenness of the world?
How would George interpret his suffering in light of the Christian narrative, with an emphasis on
the hope of resurrection?
As George contemplates life with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), how would the Christian
worldview inform his view about the value of his life as a person?
What sorts of values and considerations would the Christian worldview focus on in deliberating
about whether or not George should opt for euthanasia?
Based on the values and considerations above, what options would be morally justified in the
Christian worldview for George and why?
