i wud say yes as it is maharajs decision when we leave.

i think it is probably against sikhi, cos sometimes becos of our past deeds we are destined to suffer in this life, but if we are killed painlessly then that doesnt mean we are gonna escape that suffering, we wud probs have to suffer some other time maybe more or wateva, but thers no way around it apart from naam japna etc

I was always under the impression that suicide is the WORST sin ever. I guess it makes sense of you consider Maharaji created us all, and if we terminated out lives, the it's a snub to Maharaji....

I agree. Everyone is destined to suffer unless the Lord blesses us and we find Him.

i dunno

most of the time the only reason theyre still alive anyway is because of life support

[Guest SScom]

its difficult because... what if someone says "im in so much pain in this life, i need to end it and i dont care of the consequence in Maharajs court?" Obviously, thats not a good thing if thats what they feel, but thats up to them isnt it? Same with suicide...

Am I correct to assume that patients who want euthanasia are only alive with machines and medicines keeping them ticking?

So if one were to abandon these things, it's not exactly suicide in my opinion.

[Guest SScom]

thats true as well. if you were to rely on nature and not science... they wouldnt be forced to be kept alive...

[Jai Tegang!]

another example along similar lines is, if a sikh was given the opition of hair removal and life geting saved (say for example head injury)... or death...

now if the Gursikh chose death, i wouldn't consider it suicide or sin. he is not taking his own life, but letting the natural processes take over.

I think Baba Kartar Singh ji Bhinderawale chose not to have his hair removed for the operation after his car accident.
