Name of the person: Aisha (mummy) Age: 77 Date and time of evaluation: November 24, 2016, at 7PM local time in Srinagar. Evaluation by: Doctor Nadia/Doctor Asif Qureshi The often asked question that usually arises from family members is, “How long is she going to live?” Doctors usually give their educated guesses based on knowledge and experience. Some doctors refrain from answering for fear of instilling false hope. It must be understood that, as long as the heart is beating and the brain is functioning any decision taken to end one’s life due to pain, suffering or other reasons is against Islamic principles and considered intentional harms; an act forbidden in Islam.
