Can A Person Deliberately Stop His Dialysis Treatment
Life support which Ghamidi Sahab is talking about relates to the situation where a person is barely conscious and is being kept alive just for the sake of it without any medical recourse available. It is in these circumstances that life support should be taken out. Dialysis is a different matter, it is a form of universally accepted medical treatment which keeps a person completely conscious and alive. Moreover, one can live a normal life to a great extent. It cannot be equated with urgent life support equipments like a ventilator etc. Therefore, if one can afford it then one should not opt out of this treatment. There can be other considerations like financial, difficulty/hardship, pain etc. which may force a person to choose not to opt this treatment which would be fine for those cases.
