當華人社會的老人比例愈來愈高，而醫療科技又能夠長期地維持生命，罹患末期傷病的華人基督徒，可能要重新思考延續痛苦生命的神聖性與必要性。反對安樂死的神學只能依賴可以彈性解經的間接經文，因為聖經只有六處經文直接涉及與安樂死有關的自殺，而且都沒有明顯地譴責自殺。而贊成安樂死的神學也只能訴諸「愛人如己」、「捨命」、與「殉道」的間接經文或傳統。當聖經對於安樂死沒有清楚倫理立場時，華人教會應該以愛心與理性，包容末期病患選擇各種合法的安樂死。

As the percentage of seniors in Chinese societies rises ever higher, and medical technology is also able to preserve life for longer periods, Chinese Christians who suffer from terminal illnesses may need to re-think the sacredness and necessity of prolonging painful life. Those theologies which oppose euthanasia can only rely on indirect Biblical verses, those that can be more flexibly interpreted, because there are only six verses in the Bible which directly deal with suicide by euthanasia, and none of them clearly condemn suicide. However, those theologies that approve euthanasia are only able to appeal to indirect verses or interpretive traditions regarding statements such as “love your neighbor as yourself,” “give your life for others,” and “martyrs.” When the Bible does not hold a clear ethical position on euthanasia, Chinese churches should rely on compassion and rationality in showing tolerance towards Chinese Christians facing terminal illness and their choices of various legal methods of euthanasia.
