Pump the patient’s heart
Questions from the audience:
As I am a doctor, if my patient symptom is not good and his/her heart may be stop beating. I have to ask his/her relatives before that he/she wants me to pump the patient’s heart or not. If they decide not to do, it is sure that the patient will pass away. In this case, will the relative have any sin? And is the doctor counted to kill anyone?
Answers:
If the patient’s relatives decide that the doctor does not pump the patient’s heart in this case, they will not get any sin because they do not intend to kill the patient. They decide like that because the patient’s condition is not good enough to survive. The patient’s lifetime is going to be over. So the doctor is not counted to kill anyone as well.
