The right to die? A very debatable topic here in the United States it is illegal to have an assisted suicide and or a (PAD) which is a physician aid in dying. But here are the few states that are legal Washington DC, California, Colorado, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington; its status is disputed in Montana. And in the religion of hindu they are allowed to commit suicide, by starvation to the point of death. Also before they commit suicide they must have a terminal diseases or those who have no desire, ambition or no responsibilities remaining. In my opinion the people who practice Hinduism are being denied the first Amendment which is part of the right to practice any religion.
Jainism has a similar practice named Santhara. Other
religious views on suicide vary in their tolerance, and include denial of the
right as well as condemnation of the act. In the Catholic faith, suicide is
considered a grave sin. What is your stand?
