if anyway they are going to die, y not die easily ? but the suffering one faces is due to ones Karma, if not in this life, they have to face it in their next life !!

You are right - that\'s why Lord Sri Rama himself faced Karma in his life. Then he enjoyed in his next life as Krishna with 16,000 gopikas. In his ten avatars, each and every avatar teaches the life history.

Just checking....

I was \"just checking\" to see if my fullhyd id still exists. Thankfully it does. Euthanasia? Hmmm... Netherlands is the only country where it is legal. Its a delicate issue if a loved one is suffering from a terminal illness and u know there\'s no hope. The decision to put an end to his/her suffering all depends on the family.

I think its perfectly okay. If some one is terminally ill and medical science has no solution then its best to put the person to sleep. There is no point prolonging his suffering , if he is left in that situation he dies daily. Every Individual is master of his/her own life and if he is sane enough he has all the right to end his life. If the person is not in a position to take a desicion then his immediate family must think beyond emotional bonds and free the person of his agony. So I think Euthanasia should be legalised throughout the world.

No, I wont agree with it. who are we to free a person from this world. Its nothing but its an atemptive murder. God is the creator and he himself has the chance to take any person from this world. It\'s not a good thing for a mankind.

It\'s a very serious and important discussion that you have started ZC. thanx for it. When I told my family that I would like to be euthanised if I become a vegetable, either due to an accident or of terminal illness, I found some of them so very pained at that thought itself. but then they asked me, wud they become a pain to me, if they are in a similar state, and I said \'NO WAYS!\' or wud it? I make an excellent care taker of my family who are ill. yet, am I being selfish or arrogant that I think that I can take care but others shud not? Again, thinking out aloud...Is it Karma of so many of our family members too that they too have to face the pain the loved one is undergoing ZC?
<br>
I have read Sri Aurobindo\'s \'Yoga\' , when I was looking for answers about death after I lost a very dear loved one and found answers about death, birth and rebirth... Sri Aurobindo says THAT THE SOUL HAS THE CAPACITY TO MAKE A CHOICE, AND SO CHOOSES A CERTAIN LIFE, TO EXPERIENCE AND IN TURN LEARN WHATEVER IT UNDERGOES DURING ONE LIFETIME.( I shall get back on this issue along with the book that is somewhere among all the other books.) It made an \'extremely\' comfortable reading after the loss. The thought process had been as if it had been the loved one\'s choice to leave and that I should accept it so. It did pain, yet... it did not, as much it did before I read the book!!! So, is euthanasia right?

When a person is determined to die, he will die by hook or by crook. I think through euthanasia, he/she can die without any pain. By committing suicide by other means, like railway track, pesticides, hanging, jumping into river from a bridge etc, the person will face the pain at its extremity (we can\'t even imagine how that pain is, as none of us has experienced). So I think it is correct from the moral point of view. There r judicial barriers, which need to be mended properly in order to allow it in our country.

Just got the thought, if someone asks u to Euthanisia....ize them, would u do it ? this is very different from u saying \"let the doctor do it\", i will neither do it nor would want the doctor to do it, coz i dont want a human to play God...........look at Bruce Almighty, was he able to do the job well ? ;-)

no.. right !!

Arch, is it Karma that the family undergo the mental torture with such people at home ? YES. What u are is partly the reflection of ur parents deeds. I am greatful to my parents who are good, else I wont have a happy life (that means they are happy). If u are bad, it may be that ur child is just a puppet in Gods hands and u will face all the suffering through ur child.
