Описание: https://jurisoptima.com/cases/common-...

In 2018, the Supreme Court of India historically recognized the "Right to Die with Dignity" as a fundamental right under Article 21. However, the guidelines established for Advance Medical Directives (Living Wills) were widely criticized as "insurmountable" due to excessive bureaucratic red tape.
