live or die

Romans 14

7 For we are not our own masters when we live or when we die.

8 While we live, we live to please the Lord.

And when we die, we go to be with the Lord.

So in life or death, we belong to the Lord.

9 Christ died and rose again for this very purpose,

so that He might be Lord who are alive & those who have died. (NLT, 1^st ed.)

So, does this poke holes in some of the “right to die” & “assisted suicide” thinking?

Does this suggest that whether we live or die is not so much up to each of us individually?

Let me know what you think?
