Good points, alamelu, about sending to someone at a time when he doesn't have the capacity to make a conscious choice. By analogy, the medical profession has addressed such situations as an emergency exception to the need for obtaining informed consent. But informed consent is still needed when the person _does_ have the capacity to make a conscious choice. And I agree about accumulation of karma.

>Only God can judge us if we are right or wrong. My grand dad was bed ridden and was not concious. One night, he suffered so much from pain that he was continuosly shouting. I didnt feel like sitting there n watching him suffer like that. How was I supposed to ask his permission if he wanted reiki? My intention was to help him to some extent. Thats all that mattered. Compassion took over and I gave him reiki. Soon he stopped his cries and was at peace. My action would have been judged by God that day. Accordingly I would have accumulated my karma.
