Re: EUTHINASIA
That doctor refers to the fact that he is Roman Catholic by birth and believes in God but also that he is not against euthanasia. I find that quite interesting because I've heard the "religious viewpoint" that euthanasia = murder = sin from people not in the medical profession. Obviously the legal aspect must play a part in it also where a doctor is concerned because if he were to break the law he would risk everything.
From my point of view, my religious beliefs put a different perspective on the situation because I don't believe that this life is the be all and end all so I would see euthanasia as a means of allowing the person to move on and in contrast keeping them artificially alive could be interpreted as being against God's will. But that's only a personal viewpoint.
I wonder how a Hindu would feel about it? Or anyone else for that matter who believes in re-incarnation - would they see it as preventing the person from moving on to their next life?
