MERCY KILLING

suicide and euthanasia are two totally different ways of ending life. While the former is committed on the whims and fancies of the individual, the latter states a reasonable ground for one’s decision to rise above the everyday fight for survival.Suicide is very much a distinct concept from euthanasia. For a death to be a suicide, a person must have indulged into the act of killing himself due to various reasons like quarrel with one’s lover, family problems, financial problems, problems related to one’s

personal life or any other such problems. But in case of euthanasia one decides to end his/her own life for certain health reasons only.

Theology Tying the Concept of Suicide and Euthanasia......

The relationship between religion and suicide attempts has received even less attention.Both Hinduism and Buddhism oppose suicide as an act of destroying life. However, a distinction is made in both traditions between self-regarding (or self–destructive) Some of these differences may be due to under reporting in religious countries because

of concerns over stigma.

Hindu and Buddhist scholars have found support for this so-called “active” euthanasia in their traditions by reflecting on the meaning of death as a door to liberation, the culmination of life in detachment from the material world. They then go a step further by linking compassion to the norm of self-similitude. So euthanasia can be seen as a

compassionate act or a “mercy killing” for a dying person striving to the highest purpose.

The Trinity of Suicide, Euthanasia and Religion has Drawn the Conclusion.....

Well the way to find out whether to apply critical, rational thinking to their chosen work as lawmakers or to apply the religious belief it is required to research both sides of the argument using clearly verifiable evidence and then to balance the harm and the good to society irrespective of personal preference.

An honest man, who has done his job with utmost extent of commitment, has fallen into such a state that each day of his survival is like going through the process of death, then it would be better for him and his close family members not to see him suffer everyday. An acceptance of death in such a circumstance will not mean defying religion in any way.

But on the other hand if a person on impulse tries to kill himself he should not be forgiven and religious view in this regard is just by acknowledging such people as the ones who are defying law of nature.
