Birth Control: Should birth control be banned for everyone but marital couples, or is it a right of all women and their partners to choose a birth control method? Again, religious views can inform these questions from both sides in a way that may be similar to the abortion issue.

Medical Interventions versus Religious Interventions: Should a med-ical intervention recommended by licensed medical personnel always be the preferred or even mandated option for treating a person, or can it be replaced by prayer, a special diet, or another non- medical, religious inter-vention if that is what a client chooses? A patient’s religious affiliation and beliefs often influence how they proceed in accepting or rejecting a medical intervention. This ethical issue particularly becomes important when the medical intervention may be necessary to save someone’s life.

Euthanasia: Euthanasia refers to a practice of ending one’s life to relieve pain and suffering. Should life be continued against the will of a person who chooses to die because of unbearable chronic pain or severe brain damage?

Or should the affected person have the right to choose to live or die? Some religious groups believe that life is sacred and to be preserved above all else. Others believe that a person has a moral right to choose what is best for them, including terminating their life.

Death Penalty: Should a person who willfully kills someone be eligible for execution under some circumstances or should their lives always be spared? Religion can play a role in this decision on either side of the issue. Some religious groups believe that every life is sacred and thus should be spared in all cases, while another religious view follows the Biblical passage, Leviticus 24:20, known as the “an eye for an eye” passage in the Old Testament, in which “The one who has inflicted the injury must suffer the same injury.”
