Total Weightage 100\% Case Study: End of Life Decisions George is a successful attorney in his mid-fifties. He is also a legal scholar, holding a teaching post at the local university law school in Oregon. George is also actively involved in his teenage son’s basketball league, coaching regularly for their team. Recently, George has experienced muscle weakness and unresponsive muscle coordination. He was forced to seek medical attention after he fell and injured his hip. After an examination at the local hospital following his fall, the attending physician suspected that George may be showing early symptoms for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a degenerative disease affecting the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The week following the initial examination, further testing revealed a positive diagnosis of ALS. ALS is progressive and gradually causes motor neuron deterioration and muscle atrophy to the point of complete muscle control loss. There is currently no cure for ALS, and the median life expectancy is between 3 and 4 years, though it is not uncommon for some to live 10 or more years. The progressive muscle atrophy and deterioration of motor neurons leads to the loss of the ability to speak, move, eat, and breathe. However, sight, touch, hearing, taste, and smell are not affected. Patients will be wheelchair bound and eventually need permanent ventilator support to assist with breathing. George and his family are devastated by the diagnosis. George knows that treatment options only attempt to slow down the degeneration, but the symptoms will eventually come. He will eventually be wheelchair bound and be unable to move, eat, speak, or even breathe on his own. In contemplating his future life with ALS, George begins to dread the prospect of losing his mobility and even speech. He imagines his life in complete dependence upon others for basic everyday functions and perceives the possibility of eventually degenerating to the point at which he is a prisoner in his own body. Would he be willing to undergo such torture, such loss of his own dignity and power? George thus begins inquiring about the possibility of voluntary euthanasia. © 2020. Grand Canyon University.

Later, tests reveal he has the condition. There is no cure for the disease, and life expectancy stands between three to four years. Deterioration of the motor neurons leads individuals to become dependent on activities and lose their speaking, moving, earing, and breathing abilities. George dreads the idea of losing speech and mobility and depending on others and considers voluntary euthanasia. However, the Christian worldview holds that suffering is part of hums life that God gave as a curse during the fallenness of the world, there is the hope of life after death based on the resurrection, and life is valuable. Therefore, only God can give and take life. George should therefore consider his position based on the values and beliefs of Christianity before making a decision. Georges suffering in the Christian narrative, with emphasis on the fallenness of the world. According to the Christian worldview, suffering and fallenness go together. This started when God put Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, where they were both responsible for caring and nurturing his creation. They were free in the garden and did not suffer until they ate the fruit God had warned them against. As a result, they were chased out of the garden. The fallenness of the world started here, and God alienated himself from Adam and Eve due to their sin (Marra, 2017). Therefore, the Christian narrative views the fallenness of the world as the starting of human suffering. God cursed Adam and Eve, telling them that they will have to toil hard to get food. Thus, human suffering is a curse from God. Therefore, George can connect his suffering as a sinner because God declared that sinning was the reason for despair. Humans sin frequently and fall short of the will of God; comparing to George’s case, he can justify his suffering to man’s sinful nature. Human beings do not like being subjected to suffering because it comes from their actions in the garden of Eden. As human beings, we have served Gods judgment and suffering. Thus, George can console himself in the idea that every human being has been sinful towards God and therefore prone to suffer. How George can interpret his suffering with emphasis on the hope of resurrection Christianity believes that God created everything in the world and gave his son Jesus for humans to view Gods image. Therefore, in the Christian perspective, one would interpret  Spelling mistake: amyotrophic  Collocation e...: between three...  between three...  Spelling mistake: earing  airing  Spelling mistake: fallenness  falseness  Web Content: https://onlinenursingpapers.com/phi-413-case-study-end-of-life-decisions/…  Spelling mistake: fallenness  falseness  Spelling mistake: fallenness  falseness  Student: Submitted to Grand Canyon University  Spelling mistake: fallenness  falseness  Spelling mistake: fallenness  falseness  Web Content: https://onlinenursingpapers.com/phi-413-case-study-end-of-life-decisions/…  Student: Submitted to Grand Canyon University  Student: Submitted to Grand Canyon University  Web Content: https://onlinenursingpapers.com/phi-413-case-study-end-of-life-decisions/…  Student: Submitted to Grand Canyon University 3 George’s situation as God’s will. Suffering, including what George is going through, is intended to bring humans closer to God and create awareness about the suffering of Jesus Christ. The Christian narrative that Jesus died changed the notions and experiences of death. Death is tragic, but Jesus Christ was able to conquer death after being crucified on the ross. Thus, death appears as a defeated enemy in the Christian perspective, and humans also have the hope of conquering death and rising when Jesus returns. God, according to Christianity, constantly redeems the broken and will save humans from death. Therefore, Christians should be close to God and live according to his wishes. Christians remain steadfast in their faith when they perceive suffering as Gods will (Van Tongeren, 2020). Christians believe that God is orderly because he permits humans to suffer so that they turn back from their sins and experience his love. Although humans might view suffering as punishment, it still portrays Gods love for them and encourages them to live according to his will. Therefore, George can assess his life and repent and have faith that God has forgiven him his sins and that his suffering will not continue beyond death. After repenting, he can have hope of resurrecting when Jesus Christ comes back for his people. How the Christian worldview would inform George’s view about his life value as a person In the Christian worldview, George should believe that his life is a precisions gift from God despite his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Therefore, a human being should not terminate his life because only God has the right to give and take away lives. Even during his agonizing time with his ailment, George should endure his pain and suffering related to the disease. Under the Christian worldview, even under suffering, human beings should not result to ending their lives. Instead, they are supposed to remain steadfast in faith despite their suffering. Therefore, George is not justified to contemplate ending his life because he is suffering due to his disease. George still counts as a valuable human being before God despite his illness and the consequences of the disease, including the disabilities.  Student: Submitted to Grand Canyon University  Spelling mistake: ross  Ross  Web Content: https://onlinenursingpapers.com/phi-413-case-study-end-of-life-decisions/…  Student: Submitted to Grand Canyon University  Spelling mistake: Tongeren  Tongan  Web Content: https://onlinenursingpapers.com/phi-413-case-study-end-of-life-decisions/…  Student: Submitted to Grand Canyon University  Student: Submitted to Grand Canyon University  Spelling mistake: precisions  precision  Spelling mistake: amyotrophic  Web Content: https://onlinenursingpapers.com/phi-413-case-study-end-of-life-decisions/…  Spelling mistake: amyotrophic 4 5 Life is a precious gift God has rewarded human beings (Ele, 2019). Moreover, since the sin committed by Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, suffering is part of life for human beings here on earth. Therefore, George is still a valuable creation before God, and only God knows why he allowed George to suffer from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. As a result, George should search into his situation and figure out the reason behind God’s will for him and what God is trying to teach him and his medical condition. George should continue holding on despite the will. Ultimately, God has a purpose for everyone’s lives regardless of their suffering, and only God gives life. Morally justifiable options for George in the Christian worldview The Christian worldview would morally justify that George continues living his life until God decides his time is up. Thus, euthanasia should not be an option for George; Christians hold that life is precious and valuable and Gods gift. Therefore, it is morally wrong to take the life of a human being. Moreover, George should persevere his pain and suffering and pray for grace so that he can give him the ability to persevere. Furthermore, suffering is part of life, and it is part of Gods plan. Therefore, humans should embrace suffering as part of their lives, including George. Jesus Christ accepted his suffering on the cross. Therefore, human being should accept their suffering, even those stemming from ailments. Personal decisions if in Georges situation . I would consider enduring the suffering in Georges situation and wait to see what God has planned for me. However, it would be difficult enduring the suffering and living as a disabled person depending on others. I would believe God has a reason for going through this kind of suffering. Therefore, although I would be tempted to consider euthanasia, I would constantly remind myself of Gods love and try to hold on until God decides that my time is up. Even though I would burden my family, it would be more painful for them to watch me die and leave them behind.

Values and considerations the Christian worldview would focus on about Georges euthanasia option. Based on its values, the Christian worldview would focus on empowering George to drop the idea of considering voluntary euthanasia and include that suffering is a part of human lives. Even Jesus Christ, the son of God, went through suffering; therefore, we should accept suffering as human beings. Before Jesus died on the cross, he significantly suffered and even questioned God if it was his will that he should take the cup of suffering. Therefore, it is the will of God that George is suffering, and he should therefore ask God to give him sufficient grace to enable him to endure his suffering. Moreover, God can bring humanity closer to him and motivate them to repent their sins through suffering. Therefore, in Georges situation, he should consider his situation to discover what God intends to teach him and draw closer to God. The expectations concerning life and death significantly impact how individuals embrace the idea of death. The Christian narrative holds that everything happens according to God’s will (Van der Walt, 2017). In addition, it also assures Christians of a final hope, where there is life after death and the resurrection of Jesus, which can guarantee humans that God has everything in control. George should therefore embrace his suffering as the work of God in his life and his 6 The Christian worldview holds that life is a gift from God. Therefore, only God can give and take away life. Moreover, suffering is part of life given to humans as part of the curse for sinning against him. Therefore, human beings should embrace suffering, even with ailments such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which George is suffering from. Thus, according to Christianity, George should persevere, and it is morally wrong to consider voluntary euthanasia. He should do this, just like Jesus, who endured suffering on the cross yet he was the son of God. References Ele, C. O. (2019).
