So we had an RE session on friday & this was what we were discussing.

Euthanasia is a form of suicide so its haraam? yes?

Life Support Machines,. without which many people would probs be dead, is prolonging somones life using them right islamically? because we beleive that Allah gives & takes life when he wants, so using this machine is that right or wrong? right in the sense that we were given the mind to think & knowledge ect so if we can make this machine then that is through the ability that Allah gave us, & if he wanted to take us then he could do that whilst bieng on the support machine. Or wrong in the fact that we're prolonging a life that should be over?I sound so cold hearted but i', not beleive me. I think i just figured that out for myself,. but well what are the rulings?

When a doctor switches off a life support machine are they commiting a sin eventhough they predict that there is no way of the person ever living without it?

just yeah..talk about it.. please.

A mother accused of murdering her disabled son has described in court how she told him that she loved him before administering a heroin overdose.

Frances Inglis, 57, of Dagenham, Essex, denies murdering Thomas Inglis, 22, on 21 November 2008 and an earlier attempt to kill him on 4 September 2007.

Mr Inglis was fatally injected with heroin at his Hertfordshire care home.

The Old Bailey jury heard she injected his arm and thighs after saying: "Everything's going to be fine."

She was giving evidence about the moment she allegedly attempted to murder her son Tom in September 2007 in a bid to end his suffering.

'Went to sleep'

The Old Bailey has heard that Ms Inglis went on to succeed in killing the 22-year-old in November 2008.

His mother said: "I held him, told him I loved him, told him everything was going to be fine, took the syringe, and I injected him in his thigh and his arm.

"Then he went to sleep. He was at peace. I stayed with him."
