ok so let me start this off with the definition of fasting (just for the people who dont know). Fasting is the abstinence from food and/or drink as an element of private or public religious devotion.
Last week a 13 year old girl died from undertaking a 68 day fast. Her fast consisted of boiled water only. The parents claim that the fasting was voluntary but social activist rejects that claim.
some people think that fasting should not be practiced for many reasons. for me, i think that people should do as they wish as long as their health isnt in risk. i do believe hat people shouldnt be forced to do anything (not saying that the girl was forced but i dont know).

Personally, I couldn't do something like that. It'sad that this girl died so young because of something stupid.
