Christian narrative, with an emphasis on the hope of resurrection?

As George contemplates life with amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis (ALS), how would the Christian worldview inform his view about the
value of his life as a person?

What sorts of values and considerations would the Christian
worldview focus on in deliberating about whether or not George should opt for
euthanasia?

Given the above, what options would be morally justified in
the Christian worldview for George and why?
