The author maintains that suicide, assisted suicide & euthanasia are all contrary to Buddhist ethics, due to the intentional destruction of life that they entail. He explores methodological issues in describing a Buddhist view on end-of-life decisions. He then presents the arguments against suicide based on Buddhist texts & principles & explores the concept of ahims‰ (“non-harming” or “non-violence”) as a principle that opposes assisted suicide & euthanasia.
