what if you think it is a living thing, but you know that this life might lead to more suffering? then what?
About euthanasia, I want to tell you a story...my grandmother is paralyzed three years so far. My father takes care of her which makes him abandon his own life. She is not conscious any more. How this could be any good? I am doing my best as a non-violent person in this world, but honestly I think giving her medication to stay alive is a nightmare.

He says fetus,which is post ten weeks. What about an embryo or a blastocyst?

What if, given the reality of the world the way it is, would put the lives of the
parents in jeopardy financially? What if the pregnancy was terminated in order
to be of more service to a wider populace? An analogy would be plucking a flower to save a forest.
If the termination was decided upon to give freedom to the couple as a catalyst in spiritual healing of many more people, is this morally logical?
I feel as though it would be cutting down everyones forest to save "My" flower..

what is the stance on a woman falling pregnant from being raped? is she entilled to abortion?

hmmm..what about when the woman is very much aware that the fetus is a living human being, but she has nothing to offer him, and she believes that it will only bring him to a world of misery, because of material status, social status, maybe she is not marrried and with no family?

@theralucasaccount that is not seen as a reason to abort a child.

@theralucasaccount It's not a cut-and-dried issue in Buddhism. There isn't a definitive right or wrong; only cause-and-effect. On one hand, it is killing. On the other; you may be minimizing potentially-great damage in the long run. Like Lama Marut said: karma is you. It is up to the individual to decide.

Joel 3
"1 For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Yisrayl, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
3 And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
