Abstract
What do church members actually expect from their pastor or minister when euthanasia is discussed? Approval, as a legitimation of their decision? Rejection, as a moral barrier that you are not allowed to cross? This article reports on a survey of church members about their views and knowledge about euthanasia and what they expect from their pastor when termination of life on request is at issue.
