She argues that society applies a troubling double standard: “If a non-disabled person wants to commit assisted suicide, it’s seen as a tragedy … if a disabled person does, it’s a release.” (www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/reviews/better-off-dead-liz-carr-assisted-dying-b2542849.html)Studies have raised crucial concerns about the psychological state of those seeking assisted death. As regards this question, Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih IVrh, said:“According to the Holy Quran, life is not our possession. “It doesn’t seem to have any solution because people’s threshold of suffering, or tolerance of suffering, changes. Islam teaches us to put our trust in God at all times, even when all seems to be lost. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab al-Janai‘iz, Hadith 4203)The Prophet’s disapproval shows that even when the inevitable seems to be happening, one should have complete trust in Allah.
