Do we have the right to end our own lives? Should doctor assisted suicides be made law? I read a flyer recently where it is doctor assisted suicide was legal on one country—even for teenagers. I was shocked. Now everyone gets pain; we all suffer to varying degrees; and some of us suffer so much pain daily in sickness that we just cannot take it anymore. We cannot move any of our limbs and we feel like vegetables and forever being attended too. I should not personalise or generalise this at all for I personally never had such experience. Good God I pray I don’t.
Such persons living with extreme pain and can’t go to the washroom by themselves or feed themselves often, according to many reports wish to die. But the argument continues even today. Do we have the right to end our own lives? Should doctor assisted suicides be made law? Some argue it is their own lives and bodies and they have free will so it is their right. Another view is that God created and gave life and human beings have no right to take lives. It is a matter for Him who gave and sustains life.
The thing that is most troubling is that many of us argue that it is wrong to take make euthanasia legal in some circumstances. But we argue this view often are not in daily pain and have to live our lives dependant on others. What is life? What is the meaning of life lived in this fashion. It is interesting to have the views of others. How does salvation work here? What then of the view of Karma? Feel free to share below.
