Abstract

Within Buddhist groups, the discussion over euthanasia is hesitant. This is widely accepted by Dr. Raja Jayaweera's in Raft, the Buddhist Hospice Trust publication. He writes, "There is no official Buddhist viewpoint on Euthanasia or other related moral issues." Seekers of the Buddhist stance must apply Dhamma's precepts and principles to construct their position. They prefer hospice care to euthanasia in two distinct ways. The first one is failing to admit that any treatment will have karmic implications; the second is failing to acknowledge that any treatment will have consequences.
