| 摘要 | This paper aims to enhance of understanding of the issue of euthanasia, as well as to analyze and apply the acquired knowledge to remind followers of all religions the importance of having the proper attitude towards death and how to confront it. I have cited five factors related to the first precept for lay Buddhists presented in the Piili Canon (Tipitaka) and its commentaries (atthakathii). This precept admonishes against killing, and the factors I cited should be a criterion for how to view the euthanasia issue. I also want to assert that doctors should acknowledge and accept a patient``s right to refuse medical treatment and allow them to die naturally if that is the patient``s wish. This research presents and illustrates the textual approach to qualitative research. The primary sources of my data were the Piili Canon (Tipitaka) and its commentaries (atthakathii) and sub-commentaries (tfkii). Secondary sources were books by well-known scholars in the field of Buddhist bioethics. I categorized and analyzed all the collected data to present a clear picture of the issue of euthanasia from a Buddhist perspective. The case of Buddhadiisa Bhikkhu``s death and his interpretations of the application of Buddhist teachings are one possible way to resolve the issue of euthanasia and help Thai medical practitioners to prepare a system of proper hospice care that will assist patients in attaining inner tranquility, allowing them to die in peace naturally. |
