Euthanasia - Is it legal in INDIA

Описание: The debate on euthanasia centers on balancing individual autonomy and relief from suffering against ethical concerns like the sanctity of life and risks of abuse. Proponents emphasize personal choice and dignity, while opponents highlight potential slippery slopes and alternatives like palliative care. This discussion spans legal, moral, and cultural dimensions globally and in India.

��Key Arguments ForSupporters argue that competent adults have a right to self-determination, allowing them to end unbearable suffering when palliative options fail.�� They view active euthanasia as an extension of passive euthanasia, which is often permitted, and note that not all terminal pain can be managed effectively.�� Legalization could end unauthorized "mercy killings" under strict safeguards.

�Key Arguments AgainstOpponents contend that euthanasia devalues human life and risks coercion, especially for vulnerable groups like the elderly or disabled amid socioeconomic pressures.�� They stress alternatives such as improved pain relief and hospice care, arguing that not all deaths involve suffering.�� A major fear is the "slippery slope," where laws expand to non-terminal cases or involuntary euthanasia.

��Global Legal StatusActive euthanasia is legal in countries like Belgium, Netherlands, Canada, Australia, and parts of Europe, typically requiring terminal illness, mental competence, and multiple approvals.�� Switzerland permits assisted suicide with lenient rules, while places like the UK and Portugal debate expansions amid shifting public opinion.�� Passive euthanasia, withdrawing life support, is more widely accepted.

�India ContextIndia allows passive euthanasia and living wills via Supreme Court rulings since 2018, but requires court and medical board approval, making it slow and inaccessible.�� The ongoing Harish Rana case, reserved for judgment in January 2026, involves a man in a vegetative state for 13 years, potentially marking India's first such approval.�� Challenges include poor palliative care access (only 4% coverage), cultural resistance, and coercion risks in diverse society.��
