"Euthanasia is a grave violation of the law of God, since it is the deliberate and morally unacceptable killing of a human person"

Day 14. 562 B.C.

Scrutinizing over the pile of papers has been something that brings up many important things to talk about with and for the world. Since the inception of Buddhism, I have not found anything more heartless than what I found today. A letter from a nearby town's health center. From what I can understand, due to that the dialects within each town change, this lady makes reference to a patient who is said to be in a very critical state. I believe she is asking for any advice from my person. In the last three months I've been told that somewhere north of India there is a plague that has already killed approximately 200 people; out of the 200... 161 have been killed before they die naturally. Nobody know what it is, how it developed, or when did it really begun. I am afraid that it spreads closer to my town, and for that I pray. Before continuing on with the narration of my daily experiences, I would like for the future generations to comprehend God's viewpoint over Euthanasia. Euthanasia is the practice of taking the life of someone under a very critical state, and that is intended for people not to keep suffering. It is a huge human mistake I can say. From the roots of my teachings, and with the support of the thousands of humans for Buddhism, I declare my stance and go on and say that Euthanasia is immoral. How can people believe that killing someone is a solution? What gives humans the right to kill someone under critical conditions? "God created life, let him finish it as well", a journal of mine read. This is irrevocably the truth of life. Humans get naturally sick, and for that people should let God take them away... whenever and however he likes. Afterlife is underlined by our actions in life, italicized by our feelings, and most importantly, capitalized by the moments we were conscious of God's regulations and acted consequently in regards to them. Let our soul decide when rationalization is not sufficient. Killing someone because he or she is suffering requires deeper thinking... that we can find the answer in heaven...
