Murali_Mohan_das Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Well, it's one thing when conditioned souls try to kill with mercy, but who can say that, when Sri Kalki comes, to be beheaded by him won't be the most wonderful experience of mercy? What is the philosophical (Vedic) stand regarding euthanasia, or assisted suicide? If we take the view of Law of Karma then we will let things be as they are unless it is for a higher cause. What is the highest principle in this matter? Here are three statements about euthanasia or mercy killing from Srila Prabhupada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurupkar Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 This simply means that all humans are created equal, in fact all the living and non living have equal right to co exist, so even if you think of harming any thing, atree, an animal, or human being, or anything naturally created, you are culprit in the eypes of that param-aatama, and you will get punished for your deeds not in the next birth, but may be instantly,after one hour or after two years, but it is inevitable, regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
