This was a question posted on one of the Twitter streams i follow and it intrigued me.
The Right to live is considered sacred. But is it sacred because of divine creed or is it sacred because its violation by some one outside oneself is unacceptable. In today's world of free thought and secular ideals (Still just an ideal), i tend towards believing the second argument. So life is sacred because it is of primary importance to one self and is a conduit for happiness and satisfaction. If we were to apply the same measure to Death, it becomes of equal importance as life given how it consumes life. So Death is sacred. And if it is, it does become as personal as life and then why can't a person excercise as much control over death as he / she could over life?
