Right to die

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The right to die is the belief that people have the right to end their own lives. Usually, when people talk about the right to die, they are talking about the right of people with terminal illnesses to end their lives.[1]

The right to die is very controversial. Most arguments about the right to die focus on these questions:[1]

Hinduism accepts the right to die for anyone that has terminal diseases and have no desire to live. Other religions, however, vary in the tolerance of this right, and some call suicide a sin.
