הגוף שלי לא העסק שלי: למה התאבדות ורשלנות הן גניבה מה'

The modern concept of "my body, my choice" comes into sharp conflict with spiritual logic. According to the sources, a person is not the master of their own life or body.

The Body as a Sacred Deposit

The body is viewed as the Creator's property, given to a person for temporary use to fulfill a certain mission. Therefore, suicide is not simply a personal choice, but an act of desertion and theft. A person who takes their own life is like a servant who abandoned their post before the replacement arrived, and they will be judged as a murderer, despite the "victim" being themselves.

Criminal Negligence

Trust in God does not give the right to recklessness. One who deliberately takes risks — drinking poison, walking into fire, or ignoring illness while hoping for a miracle — commits the sin of "testing God." The Creator commanded us to preserve life, and one who neglects this bears full responsibility for the consequences, even if the outcome was decreed from above.
