English translation: Let a living being die

English term or phrase: whether he shall allow
For instance, many of you have worried about the kind of books your children should read. On what basis should we choose the books? Should it be on the basis of the language it uses, the punctuation it has, the message it has? What should be the basis of your choice? Well understanding Christianity, I say the decision must be based upon that which is found in the things that we believe in. Take for instance the question of medicine. You send your boy to medical school and the moral questions which he address himself to - whether he shall allow life to die, whether he should struggle to keep them alive, what things he should do under what circumstances - how should he make that decision?
