Withholding Life Support System Of Terminally Ill Patients
Ovarian cancer was diagnosed in a patient 6 years ago. Two chemotherapies stopped the progress of disease for some time. Presently her kidneys and lungs have failed. And she is on a ventilator. Continuing to keep her on ventilator will not cure her multiple diseases. She is not likely to survive withdrawal of life support system.
Is it permissable under such conditions to withdraw life support.

@faisalharoon do you have the lecture Ghamidi sahab mentioned in this video? I cant seem to find it
-
These lectures were perhaps privately recorded. We don’t have these lectures available.
-
And what if someone doesn’t want the treatment because the quality of life falls so drastically low
-
The principle has been explained in the video above – if there’s a treatment then one should go through it.
-
And is it fard to treat someone? And can we go ahead with the treatment if the patient doesn’t want it?
-
If someone doesn’t want treatment, it’s their choice. No one can force them
-
And we MUST treat them as a doctor. Like how far do we go because it’s life and death? We can’t just 24/7 treat patients
