In March 1943, Temple addressed the House of Lords, urging action to be taken on the atrocities being carried out by Nazi Germany. He said:"My chief protest is against procrastination of any kind. ... The Jews are being slaughtered at the rate of tens of thousands a day on many days. ... It is always true that the obligations of decent men are decided for them by contingencies which they did not themselves create and very largely by the action of wicked men.

We have always had the ability to commit suicide or request euthanasia in times of serious illness-that is, intentionally to take our own lives to end our pain and suffering or to have others do this for us. Yet the acts have been prohibited within the Christian tradition from early times. Is there reason to change this prohibition today?
