Case Study on Death and Dying
Suffering and Fallenness of the World
Most scholars describe fallenness as a transitional movement that begins with human
essence and ends in human existence. In between individual and social existence, human beings
are exposed to fallenness in several ways. For instance, George is exposed to fallenness through
the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis’ (ACL’s) potential to cripple him and make him fully
dependable on help to carry out daily tasks and even to breathe (Case Study: End of Life
Decisions, 2020).
The Christian perspective on fallenness revolves around the ejection of Adam and Eve
from the Garden of Eden. Thus, Christians believe that the act of allowing evil to dictate human
lives is an inherent quality drawn from Adam and Eve’s first act of sin. For this reason, an
accurate description of how George would interpret his suffering in the Christian lens is that he
would blame his ACL on individual sins he has committed or on the sins of his forefathers as the
scripture states. The fallenness of the world entails the death and suffering of human beings
through sin. From this case, it is clear that ACL’s outcome is pain, suffering, and death.
Therefore, I would assume that George would come to terms with the fact that as a result of sin,
God is not peace with him which is why he is set to experience some imminent tribulations that
stem from his ACL. From a Christian perspective, George would collude that he was set to suffer
from ACL symptoms as a result of the repercussions of Adam and Eve’s guilt and sin.
Suffering and the Hope of Resurrection
According to the Christian doctrines, God created everything in the world including
human beings. In essence, human beings were created to experience worldly trials and
tribulations. It is important to also note that Christians view Jesus’ coming as a move by God to
