Criminal Liability Termination of Vegetative State from Perspective of Islamic Jurisprudence
Abstract
The termination of Vegetative state is among the emerging crimes whose criminal liability in this writing has been explained in a descriptive-analytical manner and has been compiled by the library method. Vegetative state is a medical term and means a life in which the patient, due to the death of the cerebral cortex and the living of its stem, only possesses involuntary activities such as growth, development, evolution, heartbeat, respiration, digestion, and similar ones, but does not benefit from actions such as speech, cognition, sensation, and voluntary movement. Research in recognizing the ruling and inferring the jurisprudential ruling regarding the cessation of Vegetative state showed that the Termination of any stage (Vegetative state, animal life and human life) from the stages of human life has a different and separate criminal liability relative to the other stages. By relying on valid jurisprudential evidence, it was concluded that the criminal liability for the Termination of Vegetative state is the same as the criminal liability for the Termination of the life of a fetus (before the blowing of the soul). For a better understanding of the subject, it is suggested that the criminal liability of the Termination of Vegetative state from the perspective of Islamic jurisprudence be investigated comparatively with common law.
