Islamic view

              In the article, Is There a Global Bioethics? End-of-Life in Thailand and the Case for Local Difference, you don’t know for sure that by Lek going to Bangkok and ordaining as a monk and then telling Gaew will make him let go. There is no absolute certainty that the plan that they made will work.What is the next possible step? There is no concrete knowledge of what could actually work and potentially make him let go. If the goal is for him to let go and essentially die, why not plug off the ventilator. It achieves the same goal just in  a faster manner and provides less suffering. So couldn’t that action be seen as more ethical to do. The end the goal is for him to stop suffering, so you need to think about what is the most efficient way to get it done. Who puts standards and limits of what is the morally right way to end someone’s life? The end result will be the same so why does it matter how you get there?

              Also according to Islam culture from the article, End-of-Life: The Islamic View, an instance where there is irreversible damage to the brain, and if the patient can only be kept alive by a respirator then that person would be considered dead. Basically, it’s better to just pull the plug in this case than to let the suffering drag on. This view suggests that Dr.Nok and Lek should pull the plug on Gaek because of his accident causing him to be brain dead. There is little to no hope for him and all he is doing is suffering. I agree with the Islamic view in this particular case.
