I debated on whether I should post this question in the Theology Forum or the Open Forum. I decided to post it here because I am looking for Biblical, theological, and Reformed articles about this subject. I hope I have not erred in placing it here.

In nearly every resource I have found when doing a search on the subject, I have only found brief statements that basically say, “the Bible does not speak to this issue” or “Most Christians consider this a form of “loving one’s neighbor”.

This is a personal issue for me because my sister was taken off life support after just two days and her organs were harvested (otherwise known as donated). This was back in 2016 and it continues to torment me. Since then I have questioned so many aspects of modern end of life care. Currently, I am my 91 year old mother’s caretaker. Thankfully, she is in fairly good health, but I realize that, as her Medical Power of attorney, I may be faced with these “choices.”

In my reading of Scripture, I understand from Acts 17, 1 Samuel 2:6, and Ps 139 (among others) that God Himself is the Creator and Giver of Life. Only He gives and it is He who takes Life.

I would greatly appreciate any recommendations for books, articles, etc. on this topic.

Thank you,
Kim
