In the Jewish religion all life is held sacred especially in regards to human life. The taking of human life by ones self is looked down upon because it is wrong to take god given life. The belief behind this is that taking ones life breaks an agreement between god and man where physician assisted suicide breaks an agreement between man and man as well as god and man. Those that take their own lives are not technically allowed to be involved in traditional Jewish and mourning rituals. However modern Judaism is treats suicide much like any other death.

In the disability community suicide is treated very differently from a normal death. Physician assisted suicide because of a disability can be looked up upon in those places that it is legal because of the moral right to end suffering. The moral practice of egoism has emphasis on pleasure and the reducing of pain. Physician assisted suicide in many cases is the ultimate relief for the suffering that many of those with severe crippling disabilities face.

I would like to make edits and provide more information for the section on the disability community.

secondly I would like to add information on the code of medicine and the connection it has to physician assisted suicide.

In addition to the judaism section of the article I would like to add that all life is sacred to the jewish people and the taking of that life even through assisted suicide is considered wrong and goes against some of the basic beliefs of the religion.
