Would Forced Suicide, Be Considered Suicide?
The Jains have the practice of santhara where an elderly person or a person with terminal illness fasts unto death.Prayers are said continuously by monks and the intake of food is gradually decreased.It is said before the person dies he has a glow and a smile on his face.I helped my sensei train blind kids for around two years and it is surprising to see how much respect they have for their other faculties and life itself.Many dont want to live the lives they live
yet each is perfect in his place.I woud say God would consider it suicide then again I tell myself hey you got hands so you cannot feel what the other person is really going through so you shouldnt comment.
