8. Read the following passage and answer the questions given below:
The whole conception of "Sin" is which I find very puzzling, doubtless owing to my sinful nature. If "Sin" consisted of causing needless suffering, I could understand; but on the contrary, sin often consists of avoiding needless suffering. Some years ago, in the English House of Lords, a Bill was introduced to legalise euthanasia in the cases of patients suffering from painful and incurable diseases.
The consent of the patient of the patient is necessary, along with several medical certificates. But the late Archbishop of Canterbury, the English official expert on sin explained the erroneousness of such a view. The consent of the patient turned euthanasia into suicide, and suicide is sin. Their lordships listened to the voice of authority and rejected the bill. Thus victims of cancer had to endure months of useless agony, unless their doctors were sufficiently humane to risk a charge of murder.
(a) What is the concept of sin to the author?
Ans: According to the author, sin consists of causing needless suffering.
(b) What does sin consists of?
Ans: Often, sin consists of avoiding needless suffering.
(c) What is euthanasia?
Ans: Euthanasia is the practice of ending the life of terminally ill patients where recovery from the disease is impossible.
(d) What was necessary for euthanasia?
Ans: Consent of the patient was necessary for euthanasia.
