Kodakara: Cardinal Mar George Alancherry, Major Archbishop of Syro-Malabar Church, says euthanasia is against the virtues of Christian tolerance. He was speaking at the conclusion of the International Pro-life Conference (ASPAC 2020) held at the College of Engineering, Kodakara. Human life, which is God’s gift, is very sacred and holy.
