Santharo...

i just happened to meet a lady yesterday who has taken "Santharo".
yesterday was her 30th fast.Yes she has not eaten since the last 30 days.she drinks only water which has also stopped recently cause her throat aches while drinking these days. she will not eat till she leaves for heavenly abode.
i mean it is a brave decision to do that. but why give up on life? she did not look too old.
the decision was taken after she was diagnosed of some oral Tumour(cancer). She does not want to take any treatment and has accepted god's decision.Crazy, to my knowledge science, if not able to save you atleast has the ability to prolong your life.
She leaves behind a husband and a son who is not married yet. How are they going to lead their lives alone.
what happens to them after she goes.i just cant imagine them leading a normal life post this.
Personally, i just do not like the concept of "santharo".  you are here for a reason and you fight every single thing that comes your way. Santharo i feel is like suicide. ultimately you are killing yourself.
i do not know what jainism or the jain gurus have to say about santharo. whatever the explanation i would love to know it or have a conversation with them.would love to see what comes out of the conversation.
i think there have to be laws which either legalise or illegalise these customs.
however, hope this santharo thing never happens again.

P.S:-these are my opinions and in no way i want to hurt anybody s religious sentiments.
