New Delhi:
In a landmark verdict, the Supreme Court today ruled that individuals had a right to die with dignity, allowing passive euthanasia with guidelines in a landmark verdict. The top court also permitted individuals to draft a "living will" specifying that they not be put on life support if they slip into an incurable coma.
The top court has said the guidelines will remain effective till a law is in place. A 'living will' is made by a person, in his normal state of mind, seeking voluntary euthanasia in case of terminal illness, if he or she reaches an irreversible vegetative state.
