Euthanasia and doctor assisted suicide is becoming legalized in more and more countries in the world. At the last stage of one's life, when one is faced by suffering, pain and dependance - people are beginning to choose death over life. It contradicts with a doctor's values to preserve life and heal, It may be due to depression or contracting the most deadlydiseases including HIV, AIDS, and cancer.
Surveys further indicate that religious values, practices and beliefs seem to have the highest correlation with the conceptof death and life. Agnostic and Atheism religious beliefs are the most supportive of Euthanasia while Muslims, Chrisitans,Jews and other faiths are generally not supportive of it.
Death and Life.Allah swt states "He who created death and life"....
Why is that? What does faith have to do with it?
The biggest concern is "one should be able to choose" but the Canadian government has not legalized it because it values to sanctity of life, a doctor's job to preserve life above autonomy. Just like it provides people freedom of religion, freedom, autonomy at the expense that it does not violate the rights and dignity of another human being.. what if that violation is against oneself?
Is freedom and free will the most valuable entity that exists?Is beneficience more valuable than the right to freedom?and...if beneficience is more important than doesnt that open doors to so many other neglected ethics?
Is freedom of speech more important than mannered restrained speech?Is moderation of temper, crime and violating the rights and dignity of other human beings not prohibited? Illegal? Are drugs, rape and abuse not illegal? Is peacenot more important than war?
Is the sancitity of life more important than the right to autonomy??? Was it ever ??
Freedom isnt beneficience - free will is great but to what extent?
This test starts in this life and continues on to the next. Adam (a.s.) was sent to the earth for a reason.. cause restraint comes before freedom.The heavenly virtues are just not supposed to be compromised. ANd if you do keep compromising them, than how can you be in heaven?
What most don't realize is true freedom and liberation is the liberation of the soul. If you remember watchign the lion kind as a child, as Mufasa showedSimba everything the light touched "except the shadowy place" why must we search the prohibited domains?
IF Allah swt gave us free will, and if people sin against themselves anyways, than should euthanasia be allowed?
but...if you "choose" to "love" Allah swt more than it is haram.
