Astor Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 While largely accurate, I'm not quite sure how much I'd agree with Hinduism's stance that keeping a person alive on machinery would be a bad deed... ...As stated before, a complex issue that I don't believe Hinduism addresses directly. Thanks for your elaboration, Sabre, it made for interesting reading. Personaly,i think it depends on the seriousness of the illness....if they have the cold or flu then no....if they are terminally ill then yes I think that it would definitely have to be on a case by case basis - any blanket legislation would likely be too vague. Although I can't see someone requesting physician-assisted suicide due to a light case of the sniffles, i'm pretty sure they'd be laughed out of any doctor's surgery or hospital.
Delta 62 Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 hehe...i see your point though. p.s i agree about the sniffles thing....it would be funny to be there when the person said they would like assisted suicide because of the sniffles :lol:
