THE Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis) has declared its opposition to euthanasia, stating that it is 'tantamount to the act of killing'.
Its head of the Mufti office, Ustaz Nazirudin Mohd Nasir, said: 'Regardless of one's illness, and however sick one is, he or she shall not be killed because of desperation and loss of hope of recovery.
'Even with the consent or request of the patient, it is regarded as suicide and aggression against the other.'
