 note = {Voluntary stopping of eating and drinking (VSED) has recently gained increasing interest as an alternative at the end of life, because one can implement it to hasten death and avoid suffering without government sanction even in areas where euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide is illegal. This paper aims to examine the ethical significance of VSED. First, I compare it to other options such as euthanasia, physician-assisted suicide, terminal sedation, and withholding or withdrawing of life-sustaining treatment. Then I call attention to some religious rituals related to VSED. Jainism in India, for  example, has maintained a practice called Sallekhana for millennia. Jodo Shinshu, a Buddhist sect in Japan, also used to admire the dying believers who refrained from eating food. Finally, I argue that VSED can help us move away from anthropocentrism and reconsider the meaning of human life., 4, P, 論文, Article},
