Prayopavesa
Prayopavesa ((サンスクリット:प्रायोपवेशनम्), literally ''resolving to die through fasting'')〔 〕 is a practice in Hinduism that denotes the suicide by fasting of a person, who has no desire or ambition left, and no responsibilities remaining in life.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Hinduism - Euthanasia and Suicide )〕 It is also allowed in cases of terminal disease or great disability. A similar practice exists in Jainism, termed Santhara. == Conditions and rules == Committing Prayopavesa is bound by very strict regulations. Only a person who has no desire or ambition left, and no responsibilities remaining in life is entitled to perform it. The decision to do so must be publicly declared well in advance.〔 Ancient lawmakers stipulated the conditions that allow Prayopavesa. They are one's inability to perform normal bodily purification, death appears imminent or the condition is so bad that life's pleasures are nil and the action is done under community regulation.
