I am currently on dialysis. My heart is not well. If I choose to terminate my dialysis treatments, will I go to hell for the unforgivable sin of suicide? I strongly believe that I am living on borrowed time and I'm well passed my time to leave. I am suffering greatly.
While you left a comment very tough to respond to!! The Lord may decide to speak through someone on this matter or perhaps he already did, Or perhaps to communicate with you directly.
I believe you have to take this straight to the Lord.
NOT Asking to leave here, but to stay here peacefully if it be his will.

2 Corinthians Chapter 5
6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
Let us Read from Mark 7: about the Centurions request to Jesus. Also, Jesus's reply to the Centurion. Let us not disregard Job 1. Satan has no authority of his own; to take our life from us. Not anymore. Jesus took the Keys of death and the grave, away from Satan at the finished work of the Cross.
Have you called your Church to come and pray for you? The Pastor and his devoted prayer warriors?
The Body of Christ are the Hands of Jesus; His mouth, His Will working, through them. Don't shun them because you think you're contemplating suicide. This is not that.
Apostle Paul had been stoned, beat up, in prison, starved, cursed, ship wrecked, bit by a deadly viper, called a heretic by the Jews: he wanted to go be with Jesus! But he stuck it out a while longer, so he could plant churches WITHIN Jesus's followers. He died horribly at the hands of the Romans. You're going to meet Paul :)
If your work is finished here; and you've "set your house in order", it is no sin to decline the machines. That's not a suicide. If after you've read all these scriptures and you called in your Church to pray for you: it is between you and your Lord. He is touched by your infirmities and suffering. God is not going to suffer you to be kept alive by a machine. Be at peace. Psalm 23.
May God's angels stand around your beside and protect you.
Sir if your born again remember all sins forgiven its been paid for. also end of life decisions are not necessarily wrong, all of us will fall asleep or die but then we have the Hope of our resurrection. That is our peace.
Dear Chad , I am so sorry for you in your situation ,please know that I may be the only person who replies to you but I'm sure that everyone who has read your post is thinking of you and praying for a good outcome for you , there are some ,but not me , who would say that you are artificially keeping yourself alive with human science , I've done that myself and I believe that God had given us the knowledge to ease our sufferings but others will disagree I'm sure , you didn't mention your age or how long you have been like this or if you have a family , all I can say is that it's not our place to tell you what to do or to judge your choices , I know that God loves you very much and He is with you , all the time , He understands your pain. You must do what you believe is right for you and your loved ones , me ? I would take the treatment ,ask my doctor to be very honest with me ,talk to my loved ones and pray to God through Jesus Christ our sinless high priest in heaven , wait a while . Don't make a rash decision and please know we are all thinking of you and God will not leave you , listen for that small still voice .May God grant you wisdom and peace and may He bless you and yours in all the ways He knows you need His blessings most .
Hi Chad, My dad was also on dialysis for about 10 years and chose to stop when it was not helping with his quality of life. I do not believe that stopping dialysis is a form of suicide. I believe that Gods word permits us to decline life-sustaining medical treatment that is either ineffective or excessively burdensome. In Ecclesiastes 3 it says there is a time to die, this can also include a time to stop resisting death by means of measures that are minimally effective or have frequent, serious side effects. I believe with all of my heart that my dad went to Heaven!!!

We will be praying for you.
God bless you.
