Since the vast majority of the worlds population believes in life after death, it is funny that they will do anything to live as long as possible. Maybe their faith isn't as steadfast as they portrait?
People get nervous about going to a new school/job, eventhough they fully know what to expect.
Its called suicide, and its generally frowned upon. I dont know what the exactly is the Jewish view of this, however, Catholics believe that if there is:lowing wrote:

1. No possibility of recovery
2. The person is totally and completely dependent on the machine

You write this as though the word only implies fairy tales about a man and woman who got greedy and kicked out of a garden by god after a talking snake told them to eat magical fruit. There's a hell of a lot more to religion than that.Braddock wrote:

I really don't think this has to do with heaven and cristianity.
If you look at it more objectivly you can see clearly that the problem the parents have is that they are adverse to the idea that their son is dead. all the stuff about religion is just their last attempts to justify it.
Also, I feel bad bringing this up but as a buddhist I don't feel its appropriate to just dismiss all religions of being a big fairy tale and not worthy of modern times. I'm not going to argue; thats just my take on it.
