    1. Archpriest Dimitri Smirnov, Chair of the Patriarchy’s Commission on Family, Maternity and Childhood, in an interview given to a Moscow radio station, stated that euthanasia was anti-Christian. The issue came up following a statement by Tatyana Moskalkova, Russia’s Commissioner for Human Rights. At a meeting with students of the Faculty of Law of Moscow State University, Moskalkova said she considered euthanasia a humane approach for dying patients with incurable diseases, whose families also agreed to stop the suffering of their relatives.

      Smirnov condemned this position by pointing out that such ombudsmen want to destroy Christianity in Russia and thus eventually replace it by such movements as ISIS as was already happening in Europe. He added that such a position could also be called Satanism. The author of the articles concludes by reminding the reader that euthanasia is not legal in Russia, while several countries (Canada, Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland) have already legalized it.
