Dear Abby Suicide no burial obstacle DEAR ABBY: I have a question which, as you will see, I can’t very well ask anyone else. I am nearly 80, quite alone in the world, and have a progressive disease that will eventually make me helpless. Before that time comes, 1 plan to end my own life, a choice I believe each one of us has the right to make for himself. I am Jewish, but not Orthodox. I want a Jewish funeral, but I need to know if a rabbi would consent to plrform a funeral for a person known to have committed suicide. Could I be buried in a Jewish cemetery? Please do not identify me or my town. ANONYMOUS DEAR ANONYMOUS: According to Jewish law, our bodies belong to God, and only he can take a life. However, out of consideration for the grieving family, suicides are entitled to have a religious funeral and they may be buried in a Jewish cemetery. ♦ * * DEAR ABBY: Your column telling girls that they don’t have to “go all the way” to prove their love has made me sit down and write this. Why is all the blame piled on the boys? Listen to this: I'm a high school senior. 1 dated a girl last year (I’ll call her Angie) and she told me if I didn’t go to bed with her it meant I didn't “love’’ her. Well, I kept my self-respect and my virginity, even though Angie leaked a few rumors around school. A friend of mine (I’ll call him Tim) was advised by his father to get some “experience” in his teens so that when he gets married he will be able to guide his bride through the honeymoon. Tim followed his father’s advice and as a result he contracted syphilis! I know all this because I was the friend who took Tim to the clinic for treatments. I just want to say that it’s not only the girl who pays the price for hasty sex. (Consider the boy who has fathered a child out of wedlock.) Please print this to let other boys know that virginity is nothing to be ashamed of. I’m not a religious fanatic, I’m just waiting for “the right time.” IN NO HURRY DEAR IN: I commend you for your wholesome outlook and manly self-control. It’s too bad Tim’s father didn’t tell his son how to prevent the twin tragedies of irresponsible sex: venereal disease and unwanted pregnancies. * * * DEAR ABBY: A recent discussion with my girlfriend has led me to write to you with this question. For the last three months we have been together daily with very few exceptions. We have dinner together almost every night and have slept in the same bed (at my place) about five nights out of the week. She maintains an apartment nearby where she keeps her clothes and belongings and goes there just to change clothes, do her laundry, pay her bills, get her mail, etc. I say that we are living together. She says we are not. What do you say? US IN SAN FRANCISCO DEAR US: I say as long as she maintains an independent residence, you are not living together. * * * CONFIDENTIAL TO MUSICIAN’S WIFE: Don’t judge all women by the ones who chase your husband. Musicians are constantly being pursued by women, but those who don’t want to be bothered know how to ignore the overtures when they get the pitch.
