So do people that are terminally ill and refuse food and water and meds that might prolong their suffering commit suicide?
As a survivor of late stage cancer in my 30s, I wonder about that very question. It would be very hard to go through all that again. I pray when the time comes that god takes me fast.
The body doesn't need food or water when the soul is preparing to leave the body. It is quite natural to not desire food as the body knows in and of itself.
Just as when one is ill they don't feel like eating their appetite diminishes. They eat soft or liquid food at those times. So all the less when ones soul is preparing to leave this world. The body does not need food.
