Psalm 62:1-2 "My soul rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will never be shaken."
- This verse shows that mankind should place their trust in God and to lean on Him for the ethical answers that are being searched for in medicine. Unlike the principles of medical ethics, which require mankind to fix the problem, this allows for God to do what man cannot.
Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
- This verse shows that mankind needs the guidance of God, as shown above using Psalm 62:1-2. Because man is sinful, there will always be conflicts to what is considered ethical in the practice of medicine; this makes it necessary that mankind have a common standard to follow, this being God's word and guidance given in the Bible.
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son, that whosoever believe in Him, shall not perish but have everlasting life."
- This verse shows that God passionately cares for mankind and made the ultimate sacrifice for man. Because of this we should treat our bodies and the bodies of those who are receiving medical care with the greatest respect.
Psalm 139:16 "Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."
- This verse answers many questions that are being asked in medical ethics today. This first of these being abortion. God saw our unformed body, in the womb, showing that God cares for a fetus developing in a mother just as much as any other human. The second issue it addresses is that of euthanasia. All the days ordained for me; this shows that God has a plan for our lives and that when someones gets cut short due to a low standard of living, it is cheating God out of the plan He had for that person.
