I read of the woman in India who brought on her own death quicker by fasting. This purification of the body ritual has been in practice 1,000 years, and in her mind she was performing this ritual as she was dying of cancer of the brain and liver. She was following her belief, I doubt she was just thinking of suicide. There are arguments on right to life, the wrongness of suicide, euthanasia, however what about individuals who purposely harm their bodies e.g. smokers, over-eaters, who know darn well what they are doing to themselves? Are they not commiting suicide inevitably?
