Legalizing euthanasia

That's right.
Not only the person himself is suffering, but his family too.
Escaping suffering is easy.
But why do we get sick and suffer, and why do we have to have a sick family?
It is religion that thinks about the reason.
----------
There is always a cause for an outcome.
Of course, there are causes of getting sick, but there are also reasons why you have to have a sick family member. It goes back to the world before birth.
----------
It was because I gave someone the same sorrow and suffering as I am now, and now I am receiving that reward.
----------
It's natural to atone for your sins if you do something bad. They are suffering now to atone for the sins of a past life.
Running away from the suffering of illness is unforgivable because it is running away from the sins of past lives.
----------
If a relative were to be killed, I'd like the culprit to atone for his crime. If they run away because they don't want to atone for their sins, I would get angry. I will never forgive it.
----------
Instead of running away from bad luck or misfortune, I think we must confront it as you say.

Today, too, 80 people took their own lives.
This is because 30,000 people choose to commit suicide each year.
Sadly, it's human nature to think that living is “hard” and even think “if you have such a hard time, it's better to die.”
Wanting to stay alive and to live forever is also human ego.
Wanting to die, and wanting to die right now, is also human ego.
Both have human egos at their root.
To put it simply, I am controlled by my own ego.
When you are controlled by your ego, you are controlled by the false wishes and thoughts that your ego has created.
First, I think we need to face that.
Wanting to live is also the human ego.
Wanting to die is also human ego.
Buddha, enlightened people are freed from their own thoughts and egos.
Therefore, they do not become overly attached to blame, do not shorten their own lives, and fulfill their destiny and ten-life.
There is something called “man-made” that only humans do.
The salvation of Buddhism is to gain a heart that is free from that human [man-made] person.
This is because if you can calm your own ego, you won't end your life by force, and you won't have the will to live for the rest of your life. Please take a look at this point.

It's a difficult question.
Even if it doesn't seem that painful when you look at it from a distance, your suffering may be so painful that you want to die.
Euthanasia and death with dignity may also be different, but I personally think it is OK to recognize them under fairly limited conditions.

It's not a disease, but if you're caught by terrorists and tortured for hours every day, you might think it would be better to die.
Who can be blamed for that?
Personally, I think it's important to be free from worries and suffering.
I think there are positive aspects to having a variety of options.

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is my humble answer to the question.

Until now, we have dealt with “euthanasia” slightly in each of the following questions.

Even when viewed from the viewpoint of respect for individual dignity, I think it is better not to legalize “euthanasia.”

In Buddhism, death is not the end, and it is important what to do with the current state of mind (mental inheritance/mental continuum) that continues even after that, and of course, how to adjust until death occurs.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama described “euthanasia” a long time ago as follows.

“From a Buddhist point of view, it is meaningful and important for people on the brink of death to live a long time, even for just a few minutes, if they have an opportunity to have positive, good thoughts.”

“If a dying person has no chance of having positive, good thoughts, then simply spending huge sums of money to maintain their lives doesn't make much sense. However, in either case, individual circumstances should be considered. It can be said that generalizing is dangerous”

I believe that the body and mind should be considered separately when it comes to this issue.

There is almost no function or effect of the body, and it is important to place emphasis on the state of mind that will survive, and make an effort as much as possible so that the person concerned can go better.

Anyway, I understand that it is necessary to respect the “state of mind” of those who are dying, and carefully select which choices will contribute to the survival of a better heart, considering individual circumstances, including those involved around them. I think it would still be difficult to decide it uniformly by law.
