Mr Dutta, this is a fascinating topic, in which I have had a long-term interest..which you seem to have stripped of any interest. Neither have you managed to say anything new. Sorry to be harsh, but I really am disappointed.

Ayurveda is not the first choice for most in the sucontinent.The1000yrs. old ethos and phiosophy has been replaced by Science and western thaught .

Those who have money And resources practice sacredness fully .Non sacredness is inability to pay

There is nothing sacred about the value of life in the subcontinent. It has never been.

It’s time we rid ourselves of archaic biblical laws and re-evaluated the so called ‘moral’ laws.

but the essence of its sacredness needs to be affirmed in many ways and not just by forcing a man or woman to live when there is nothing much to live for.

I agree with that .

There is concept of Living Will in Usa at least in which All people are encouraged to express there view what they would prefer if the are terminally ,balance between resources far out number the few days of vegetative existence more .
