Re: Euthenasia : ur point of view

True shak depends on a number of things but doesn't make deliberate killing right.
Its Not acceptable.You will die when you have to then why make it murder/suicide.

Re: Euthenasia : ur point of view

well its 100% not jaiz in Islam ..unless someone says otherwise ..

Re: Euthenasia : ur point of view

I understand that its hard (almost impossible) to remove Islamic perspective from something but how would we look at it if we remove religious perspective? Do we thing that a person owns his life? Can he decide about when to end it?

On a similar note, can we decide about someone else life? Outside capital punishment, we do that as going for abortion and pulling the plug on someone. Is that allowed?

Re: Euthenasia : ur point of view

shak :smilestar: can you say flooder plz :hoonh:

fbi i thought tht too :hmmm:

TLK even if you take out the religious perspective its still wrong.You don’t have the right to decide when you pull the plug on someone.

Re: Euthenasia : ur point of view

Technically, pulling the plug is not euthanasia. Those are two different things.

Re: Euthenasia : ur point of view

umm:konfused: Isn’t that deliberate killing too?

Re: Euthenasia : ur point of view

I find this smiley too cute :smilestar:

Re: Euthenasia : ur point of view

Aap socha kam karain ^ LP

As for Euthanisa, we can't pin point a standard asnwer. It depends on a 1000 things, (I am not giving my support or anything) but there are so many factors. Does the person want it? If he/she does and are satisifed with themselevs regarding religon etc are sane then who is to stop them?

Re: Euthenasia : ur point of view

Seeing the replies , it seems that not only me rather other ppl are also not clear abt it.
From islamic point of view it is wrong till now . On the other hand there is ijtihad by which this issue must be cleared out.

Consider a scenario ,
In the hospiatal there is only one life saving machine and two patients one is medically almost dead while other has chance of life saving ??
What to do ??

Re: Euthenasia : ur point of view

If the person is suffering from painful slow death, euthanasia is justified and should be done. I know I would want it if im in that situation. no point in prolonging pain.

that is not euthanasia .. but what is your definition of almost dead?

Re: Euthenasia : ur point of view

Euthanasia as I understand it, is baically assisted suicide. When the situation is definitely terminal and yet the pain and suffering can linger, the patient can with the help ofthe doc and/or loved one can end things more quickly.

I do agree with this, as long as the patient is in full conciousness of what is happening and wants it done. If this were legalized however, it opens all kinds of doors to homicide. Its a really tricky thing to get it legalized yet it happens all the time in a quiet and dignified manner.

I'm strongly against "disconnecting" those who are completely helpless though. Like Terri Schiavo. Her wishes were not put forth in any sort of legal document so it came down to a battle between husband (whosaid "she would not want to live like this" and her mother who said "she recognizes me, she responds to me even if its minimal so please let her live".

The husband won, Terri was disconnected from feeding tube and mama wasnt even allowed to offer her waterthru a straw. It took her 17 days to starve and dehydrate to death. We dont do this to animals.

Its important to put down your wishes in plain language,in writing. The rest will follow.

Re: Euthenasia : ur point of view

according to two of my relatives who practice medicine in pakistan, something quite close to euthanasia is practiced in Pakistan, quietly, without controversy. For certain treatments costly/painful procedures are available that would technically prolong the patient's life but would either just result in prolonging his/her misery or some scenario similar to that. in those cases doctors advice their patients to avoid life-saving treatment. perhaps someone who is actually a doctor could explain all that better than i just did.

Re: Euthenasia : ur point of view

This reminds me of the Diane Pretty case. My views on euthanasia pretty much were summed up in the mentioned case.

It was about a woman who suffered from a motor neuron disease and she wanted her husband to help her die without being prosecuted for the act. Her case proceedings began and she claimed that she had the right to die and Articles 2,3,8,9 of the HRA 1998 were being breached. Eventually, the Court held that there was no breach of any of the mentioned articles as The Right To Life ( Article 2) does NOT include the right to die. The other articles were also not in breach as she was not subject to any inhuman or degrading treatment ( Article3), her family life was not being interfered with ( Article 8) and she was free to voice her thoughts ( Article 9).

It is understandable how tired and frustrated the woman must've been with her circumstances. However, she was given the opportunity to bring forward her case in Court. Life is a gift to all. We don't decide whether or not we come into this world. Similarly, we do not decide when we leave this world.
