SC comes out with a balanced verdict on euthanasia
The Supreme Court has come out with a balanced verdict on euthanasia in the wake of Aruna Shanbaug case as it has aloowed restrictive passive euthanasia under well defined conditions.
IT REFERS to yet another balanced verdict from Supreme Court on euthanasia wherein Apex Court has allowed restrictive passive euthanasia under well-defined conditions, till Parliament passes a bill in this respect, disallowing active euthanasia altogether.Verdict has satisfied all including opponents and supporters of euthanasia. Verdict is also in tune with basics of religious (Hindu) tenets because the verdict has allowed even passive euthanasia only through natural death, and not be any artificial means of drugs or injections etc. Religious tenets are against unnatural deaths like suicides or killings when re-birth with memories of earlier lives are observed in many cases of re-births caused only due to unnatural deaths.
Even Parliament, while legislating any law on euthanasia should take into account the Supreme Court verdict in this regard.
It should also be noted that people, who have genuine reasons to demand euthanasia such as terminally ill patients and those, who do not have any chance of revival should be given the opportunity to end their sufferings. It is not only patients but also people around them, who suffer constantly due to the intractable situation.
