I dont know what suttas that talk about it.
But

All sickness come from karmic reaction in some way, also the sickness of the brain. it can have been caused from a earlier life and that this life you have to pay the karma back.
But in any case killing is wrong in my view. even killing an mosquito on purpose is wrong.

The thinker

I apologise for going off topic and I'm being torn apart because half of me is saying "Gary, right speech, leave it alone" but I've got to say something because I've seen that view from TT more than once in the last few days.

Too me TT's view of karma is way off the mark, I know it's not meant to offend but......

Correct me if I'm wrong, I am a beginner:

We are all born perfect, right?
How can a baby accumulate enough negative Karma in 12 weeks that he dies of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome?
Please don't tell me it was accumulated in past lives!
That's just one example, wake up and smell the coffee, I know we're Buddhists but we're not living in fairy land.

Please forgive me if I've offended.

Deep bows, Gassho
Gary
