Hi all,
I wanted to know that your thoughts are on the subject of death by voluntary fasting and laws relating to this topic. In Hindu or Jainism religions, undergoing rituals of Santhara, Sallekhana, or Prayopavesa is a method of ending a life of a person that has no desire and responsibilities left in life. It is considered by some that this does not mean suicide but a graceful exit from this world by a natural death. Others think of this is just another way for an exit. This has been a debate for centuries and I just wanted to know your thoughts on the subject as you are very close to this area. As far as I know, there are no laws against fasting.
Thanks in advance,
